[QUOTE="aceranch1, post: 476422, member: 26207"] I’m contemplating ordering a new boat. One I’ve been looking hard at is a Lowe FM1625WT. Max HP is 90. I will be fishing local reservoirs mostly, using the outboard to get to trolling spots. The boat minus motor weight is 1250# plus myself and 2 sons 600# = 1850, so round up to 2000#. I would guess 60HP would be plenty but my gut says spend the extra $3000 for a 90. This will be my first fishing boat so my only experience is on other’s rigs. Any solid advice from experienced boaters? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
