Subject: Can you justify NOT maxing out HP?


I'm 95% sure I will be purchasing a new boat this winter. The dillema I have is whether I should wait a year in order to put the HP the boat deserves on the transom.

I'm looking at the new Crestliner Fishawk 1850 which is rated for 150HP... but scaling down to a 115 Merc or Yamaha 4-Stroke saves me about $4k.

My rule of thumb has ALWAYS been to max out the horsepower... but I'm seriously considering the 4-stroke. I am not concerned with top end speed... just the hole shot.

Of course... I could always scale back on the hull to a 1750 and max that out with the 115.

Opinions Welcomed.....

P.S. How about some votes on bunk vs. roller trailer too.
