Re: what size motor fits what length boat

It is dependent on hull design and width dimension. A photo would help.

It depends on the hull design but a 6 meter boat is close to 19 feet long and 135 HP is very common on boats in that length. BUT -- hull design determines that, not just length. As others have pointed out, the boat manufacturer capacity plate should list "Maximum HP".
