Re: what size engine

Pretty craft, mick. Looks like she could be rated for as much as 30-40HP. Look for the USCG rating on a plate or sticker and plan on 70% to 100% (not more) of that rating.

Lacking a max power rating I think I would power her in the 25-30HP range for sea excursions.

Good luck. :)
