My first V20 had a 6 cylinder 65 HP engine in it. Almost would break free, but could NOT get up on plane. I would not go lower than 90 hp personally. Most people here seem to feel that a 150 is perfect for these boats. I like my 200. Can't use that power in the ocean cause of the wave action but on the lakes I like the extra speed.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
