Default Re: \"Ideal\" power for a 20' '87 Superfisherman?

Deep,
I have a 1973 20SF w/ 1998 150 Mercury and it performs well. Although there are times I wish I had about 25 more HP, mine runs plenty strong, 3.8MPG, and tops the boat @ 42 WOT. I do not need the speed as much as would like additional power off shore (rough sea conditions) etc.

If I was to buy new, I would strongly consider the 150 E-Tech or 175 Suzuki. I have a 47 gallon tank and they both would perform well for power and range.

Good luck
