Not what you asked for at all, but lemme put in a plug for my 1984 35hp. I have often said it is the best outboard I’ve ever personally owned (in that HP class). I mention it because you said you want more power. This will give you that, for sure. And without being ridiculously heavy. I agree the thru-hub gearcase is one secret of it’s performance. Mine swings a 15" SST prop and turns 6000 RPM and goes like the proverbial Striped Ape.
Having said all that, I have to say avoid the early thru-hub motors with the water inlets on the front. Bad news. Once they moved the water inlets to the side, good news.
