Subject: Can you justify NOT maxing out HP?

I guess I'm the voice against reason here! I bought a 70hp on my FishHawk 1650 because it was already on the boat, and the dealer gave me an incredible deal on it. I wanted to go 90, and now I wish I would have. Unfortunately, if you wait a season or two to upgrade the motor, the old one has depreciated so much, and the new ones likey have increased in price, so I actually would end up paying almost double to trade it up what I would have if I would have just upgraded to the 90 when I bought the boat. For me the point is irrelevent, since my brother is buying the boat from me, and is happy with the 70, but when I bought the replacement for the FishHawk I went with max hp on the new rig.

For what it's worth. Jamie Schmidt
