Re: Wanting to upgrade motor on a pontoon boat

Welcome aboard crusher. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to put a 65 on a barge that size (assuming no structural issues or questionable Bubba Mods:rolleyes:). Don't think there's ever been a 24 footer made that couldn't handle an 85, and most are good up to 115. By the way, as a matter of course it's generally better to start a new thread than to resurrect an older one. You'll get much better visibility that way, which usually means more and better responses. Good luck with the repower.:cool:

Yes, I wouldn't blike an eye on puting a 65hp on a 24' toon. I'm runing a 24' Suncruiser, and this year I'm going from a 70hp tp a 115hp. If, you are going to a 65hp, and you are going to haul around some people, you are probably going to still be underpowered. You should be able to call Sylvan and find the hp rating.
