[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 234942, member: 4251"] Depending on the boat, I would try and be close to the max hp rating of the boat. I have a 60 2 stroke on my pt175 which is rated for 75hp. The 60 gets me where I want to go pretty good at around 35 per the gps but that was not trimmed out well. Never been one to see what it'll do, it goes fast enough for me. I'm not sure I would want to hang on to a 150hp tiller, I know what kind of torque steer my 60 has, so a 150 would be a handful imo. I don't think insurance is required on a boat in TN, but I have full coverage just like on a car so if I do have an accident, I hopefully won't lose my house and everything else due to some lyin' $%^$ who said it was my fault when he drank all his beer to fast and was haulin' @@s back to the ramp for a beer run.
