Underpowered, yes if the max is 75 hp, but depends on where you're fishing. If you're mostly on rinky dink water, not traveling far and not in a hurry, sure it'll push that boat. But if you're on any kind of decent water or plan to travel decent distances, say more than a mile or two I'd be you're going to want more power. I've been in more than tin boat with 50's and one with a 40 and the 50's were fine but the 40 was a bit of a dog. But they all got the job done.
