At our altitude in Utah, going with anything less means less performance since we lose 3% of the HP for every 1,000 feet above sea level (where the HP ratings are calibrated to). So for most of our lakes (usually 6,000 feet or more) we lost 18% of the HP. So for a 40hp engine at our altitude it really only a 22hp engine! Think about that for a minute.

I think you may want to recheck your math. I believe, using your numbers, it is actually 33 (32.80 to be exact), rather than 22 hp.
