Thinking about 2008 Key West 1720 DC

[CJ-7]

I am looking at a Key West 1720 DC, 2008. It has a Yam 90 HP 4-Stroke on it. I have read several places that this motor is too heavy for this boat. Does anybody know if this is a problem on the 2008 models. Most of the post I read were refering to older boats and I thought the Manufacturer may have worked out the kinks by now. The boat does have a live well and two batts. in the back of the boat. Any advise would be great, Thanks !

I have a 115 2 stroke Suzuki on mine and I think a 90 2-stroke would push it really nice with a little less wt. and thus stern squat. With my engine and 2 people in the back, you're going to be standing in water. You might check the engine weights to see how the 4 stroke 90 compares to the 115 2 stroke Suzy.
