The mother of all HP Questions

[bgreene]

Para - I've run my V21 with 150 hp and 200 and both are fine.

In fact, the current crop of 150's offer some fantastic fuel economy and lighter weight options that make this boat so economical to run.

Some guys have 140's and the boat also plans up and cruises fine.

Current outboard on my V is an Etec 200 HO and sure......it's fun to run fast once in a while.
I do just about all my fishing on the ocean where speeds of 20-30mph typical.
Just once last year....the ocean was so flat I ran many miles cruising at 40 mph without pushing the motor wide open.

Now if I had a 35' Deep V CC I'd want to have twin 7 Marine 626's.
