225 or 250 HP too much???

The 175 is more them you will ever need!! These hulls were not ment for speed!~! So you will only use it on the flat days, and I don't know about were you are, but We very rearly get alot of flat days.

That said I know that a 175 yamaha is of the same weight as they are the same block. 390 pounds

The added HP will also add torque to the transom also when you doind hole shots! So take it easy!

I belive the 225 hp is the same as the 250 block and will add more weight to the boat.

So unless you are 100% sure on that transom I would not want to go over a 150 to 200

I get about the same numbers as CB, 38 or so with a light load. But with 3 people and gear we move nicley at 30 to 33 mph, which is great by me!

Good Luck
