Okay, going to piggyback on this thread to see what you guys think. I recently got a '96 SmokerCraft Pro Tiller 160 sans motor which is similar to the Pro-V in length/beam, but almost 100lbs less and also the bow is a much shallower taper than the Pro-V (like a 45 degree instead of a 60 degree). It is rated for a 60. I've been leaning towards a 50hp Honda (I know the previous owner had a 50hp Merc on it). Anyone with experience with this rig or an opinion if the lighter weight and different bow design will allow for better performance with a 50?
My guess is that it would be okay with a 50, until you put more than 2 adults in it or have to deal with real wind.
Why don't you just get a 60 ? |
