Location: Wisconsin | I have a 2011 175CS. I spent quite a bit of time researching engines and went with a 130 Etec over a 150. With the Etecs, the 150 jumps up to a 6 cyl and weighs more than the 130 and burns more fuel. I get 40-45 on mine which I think was right in line with the 150. Plus, the 150 cost more. I went with Etec over Merc for a bunch of reasons, but to each is own.
I would agree with what is said here, the 90 will be WAY underpowered for that boat. It will work, but you will find out right away it will be a pain in the ass even if lightly loaded. I always suggest going max HP for a boat, but a 125 would work great as well. Good luck.
