For me this hull is about weight management. Especially if a 20" transom.

If you plan to arm yourself like you do for Salmon you'll want the lightest motors available.

Old school:
Yamaha 130
Mercury Inline 6 115
Evinrudes V4 115
Merc 2.0L 135-150 hp (a little on the heavy side but still only about 375 lbs) and 2.4L 150-200 hp

Current:
Suzuki 90
Etec 90-130
Optimax 115-125
Tohatsu 90-115

Several others like the Yamaha f115 and the merc 115 4s are about 400 lbs. Only bigger motors I'd consider are etec 150 and Suzuki 140 if you have a 25 inch transom. Their power to weight ratio and reliability records warrant their inclusion.
