I have a 17' Alum Crestliner boat. Its rated for up to an 85HP motor. My question is, how well do you think a 40HP merc would push it?? I'm not looking to break speed records, just like to be able to cover some ground, and get off the water if the weather turns bad. Its not going to be anything fancy, center console and 4 pedistal seats. Mostly and open floor plan with maybe a couple shelves. 2 batteries, and 2 6 gallon gas tanks. 3 people most of the time, maybe 4. What kind of motor is it going to take to be able to tube, or ski behind it?? Looking to try and build an all in one, fishing, hutning, and pleasure boat.
