[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 476481, member: 21536"] Outboard Mfg sites will like have performance test info for each size motor. Assuming one of the test is a boat similar to yours, you can use that to see the difference in HP models. It is pretty common for folks to complain about new boat "package deals" being underpowered. I bought my current boat new. It is rated for 60 HP max. It was a special boat show deal with a 40 HP. I paid extra to get the 50 HP and am very glad I did. I can cruise to my fishing sites at close to 30 mph with still plenty of room left on the throttle. Anyway, after reading the posts above, it looks like I made a good choice with the the mid-range option. [/QUOTE]
