40hp


Probably still a little under powered. Def do not get the 25.

ETA: I have a 17.5' aluminium skeeter. Probably a good bit heavier than the one you are looking at, but best I can do it 45 mph alone with a "light" load. Worst thing you can do when buying a boat is short yourself on power. Buy the bigest the boat will allow, or you can afford.

I don't see myself ever needing to go 45. I just want to make sure the boat is able to get on plane under load without much difficulty. I will likely never run wide open anyway.
