Subject: Can you justify NOT maxing out HP?


For what it’s worth, I have a 16 footer rated for 90hp. the boat weighs 750lbs. I could have put a 90hp. 2-stroke on for cheaper than the 60hp 4-stoke I went with. My deciding factors were the 60 4-stroke was quieter, it can troll or just “put” around, no oil, and like you I prefer a nice cruise instead of a white knuckle WOT. I could have put the 90 4-stroke on, but it was a little more than I wanted to spend and almost twice as heavy as the 60hp. It tops out in the mid 30’s.
Have fun
