An '84 is a Seacraft Industries hull. They stretched it 8" longer than the Potter SF and it might handle the weight better as a result. That being said, I agree with the other posts. I've got a 200 Merc on my Seacraft Industries 20SF and it's more than enough motor. If you're going to fish offshore, a 150 will probably deliver more torque at the speeds you'll be running. On the other hand, if you just want something that will haul a$$ on flat water, the 250 is the ticket.
