The question's been asked in many different combinations of boat sizes/types and HP but I thought I'd ask anyway and seek some much needed advice.
I'm finishing up my first project boat, a 15.5' fiberglass open bow, and looking for the outboard to power it. The boat can handle up to 100HP. There's an early 70s 60HP Johnson for sale locally. Will the 60HP be enough for my family of four to do some tubing and skiing, or should I hold out for a 100HP? The four of us would be about 450lbs.
Thanks in advance!
