Define 'under power'. There are many models out there that run absolutely flawlessly with less than the maximum HP strapped to the transom. Hole shot, handling in rough water, and performance is excellent. Go from the mid range power to a V6; all one gains is top end, and one may lose some advantages of the mid range outboard...like weight and the ability to troll with the main engine successfully.
'Under powering' a boat means powering it with an outboard that will not meet performance expectations, not that one has to buy the maximum HP that boat will take. |
