Hi, everyone! I have a HPS that I plan on repowering very soon. I was wondering what you would recommend for an outboard. I plan on getting a Yamaha 4 stroke outboard, but I’m trying to decide between the 50 hp, 60 hp, or 70 hp. Thanks!

Old post but I'll bite. I'm pushing 30/31mph with a 2005 40hp Merc. 4 Stroke and EFI. Thats with no gear and 1 person in the boat. floats high and dry like a cork

I ended up getting a new 70hp four stroke Yamaha and I love it, but I always wonder if I should have went with a 40-50hp.

Fished a lot out my buddies old Hobie, he had a Honda 50 on it and it did quite well. Cool little boats

wheres your waterline by the scuppers? How fast you pushing.. It would be nice to have a 50 or 60 when I do longer runs...

the new tohatsu 60 would be a good light weight match
