I have a 225 optimax
with 600 hours no problems pushes a 26ft centre console for about 1 litre/mile at 27knots. Only issue is oil price - about $165 for 10 litres.

Oil price...
...shouldn't be too huge a factor for a 90hp. My 90hp e-tec (similar technology) only sips it....averaging 1 trip/week, takes me the best part of six months to get through a 1 gallon bottle of XD-100.
There was a fella on here a while back who had air compressor issues with his opti...might be worth looking into.
