Default What size motor are you running?
Trying to find a happy medium for a boat motor. It came with a Johnson 235. I want enough power but not too much (the J235!) What engine would you recommend?

I have had two different 150s on mine...an 86 Evinrude(2 stroke) and now a 4 stroke Honda...and they have both provided adequate power...top speed of 40+ and easily cruises at 30-32...

Lumberslinger has the motor I wish was available when I had to replace my old one...200 hp small-block Etec...lightest way to hang that much power on your transom...
