What will those boats do with a 175 on them? I see a ton rigged with something less than a 200. I just worry about cruising speed. I would want to be able to coast at 35-40 without much effort. I worry that a 175 wouldn't be enough.

The zuke 175 will push it just as fast as my yam 200. It's the gears/torque that let it swing a bigger prop.

A 150 yam will max out at roughly 45mph on the 2104 hull

My 200 i4 maxes out at 53 mph with 3 people loaded down. To do 45mph I turn 5000rpms. 40 mph I do 4500 rpms. All my trips I average 4mpg according to my trip gauge and when I fill up on the way home.

Whodats sho 200 will run at least 5mph faster than me

the frontier is a great boat, only negative comments I've seen refer to deck drain.

and every time you see a blackjack you'll wish you had bought that
