Re: Is 90 hp adequate for 1967 19'6\" bowrider?
Hey Bowrider,
I have a 75 CC 20' ( 19'8" actually right ?) and I had a 84 90 Johnson which had a bad cylinder at 75 psi. I still got about 31-32 MPH on that, I sold it and now have a 1995 112 SPL Evinrude, and Im propped at 13.25 X 17 and get 37 at 5100 RPM, I need to raise Motor 1" still, but I am very satisfied with the performance. 47 gallons on fuel and 4 fisherman + Ice gear etc its a bit slower on the hole shot, but 5 mpg is OK with me. I primarily fish the Galveston Bay complex, and near offshore at the 10-12 mile rigs so out there you dont often get over 21-22 MPH safely. With 2 people 25 gallons hole shot is very good and fast enough for me at 37-38
