If this is a 'stop gap' rig, and all you want is a nice handling, quick hole shot, medium speed boat, get the 115 four stroke. Prop it right, and away you go!! If you cannot get the right prop formula from the boatbuilder, look into Turning Point Propellers or Mercury propellers. Both adapt to the Yammy, and have extensive boat testing records.

I have several 115 four strokes out there on our 17'6" hull, and reports give us fully loaded( three anglers) 40 to 42 MPH speeds. A 150 on the same hull would run 50 to 52.
