Which motor should I choose for a new boat purchase?
20' Crestliner sportsfish (1600#'s) with new 130 HOnda or 2002 2 stroke 150 Yamaha with duo prop?Not much difference in price between the 2 motor. CG rating on the boat is 225 hp max. Is the motor ok for this set up?I just want the boards opinion or experience or recommendation or suggestion. Duo prop - I do not know anybody using it. Dealer raves about it. What prop pitch is recommended - I am not a speedster though I would occassionally pull an inflated inner tube.Thanks for your reply.
Re: Which motor should I choose for a new boat purchase?
Welcome to the forum. Both are excellent motors and you can't go wrong with either. However, if the boat is rated for 225 HP, I think you'll be much more satisfied in the long run with at least a 175 HP motor, preferably a 200 HP. You don't have to run them wide open, but the horses are there if you need them. It's good practice to be within about 80% of the boat's max HP.
