Re: 115 hp to little hp?
I can't believe I missed this thread. Barhopper, I have a 112hp Sea Drive on my '86 Step Lift. It eventually gets up on a plane and I could pull a tube, but I definately wouldn't be able to pull a single ski up out of the water. Maybe a patient, experienced double skier who could then drop. I have the second smallest prop listed in my owners manual on, a 13 3/4 X 15. I'm considering trim tabs. I am too cheap for a GPS so I have no idea how "fast" the boat goes, but I do know it's not as fast as most of the others around me. On the other hand, it sure rides smooth ;). When I do repower, I won't go lower than a 150.
