My 40 is way bigger and heavier than your 34 but only has a 120 instead of 200hp...most of the time I wish it were a 75-80hp engine but even that little diff in economy isn't going to amount to much if the rest of the boat isn't a good fit for me in the long run.
and that's (only 120 hp) is one of the reasons your boat is so economical at displacement speeds.
