[QUOTE="crappie777, post: 476470, member: 15550"] I haven't bought a new boat in a long time but used to be manufacturers tested their boats with different hp outboards and could give you some idea of performance. I once bought a new Ranger Cherokee rated for a 115 and asked about the difference in performance between a 90 and a 115. The dealer looked it up and said the 90 should run about 42mph and the 115 should run about 44mph. There was a several hundred dollar difference in price between the two engines, which one do you think I bought? To top it off, after breakin, on glass smooth water, I saw 45mph on GPS!!! Wish I had that boat back. [/QUOTE]
