Subject: Can you justify NOT maxing out HP?


A buddy of mine has an 18' smokercraft with a 115 mariner on it and it does about 42. Plenty of power and it's rated for a 150.

What I would not recommend is getting the standard engine that some dealers/manufacturers put on their boats. Mine, for instance had a 40 force on it. I had it taken off and put the max 60 merc on it.

Seen a guy today with a tracker v-hull with the standard 25hp merc on it. Three guys in it and never came close to planing.
