Default Re: Minimum Hp for 23 CC??

We have had both a 200hp and a 225hp on our Sceptre over the years. The 200 was adequate but would not drop down any further HP as stated above. The 225 is a MUCH better choice. We have a 23 year old Yami and it powers the boat great. Using an alum 17P prop we cruise at 30 mph at 4200 rpms at 11 GPH. WOT is 5200 at 38 mph at 18 GPH. I'm pushing a hardtop and mini tower thru the air too, so #s are probably 2-3 mph lower (top end) than a streamlined CC.
