Re: Power for a restored 18SF
Everyone - thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty sold on going four stroke. I appreciate the advice on the weight factor. I will focus on staying below 400lbs. I liked the Suzuki 140 because it had the best power-weight in the 100-150 HP range, but it is listed as 421 pounds with a 25 inch shaft. That new Optimax 125 sounds perfect, but I am hoping to find something 3-4years old at a lower price with all the controls. Guess I may need to focus on a 90HP motor. Does 90 HP push this boat nicely?
