90 hp
I went through this same analysis when I bought my 74 20 ft. CC SF last fall. I had an outstanding 5 year old 90 hp E-TEC from my prior boat that I considered swapping over to the Seacraft. I don't think there is an absolute answer as to how happy you will be. In my case, I bit the bullet and went with a new 115 hp E-TEC. I carry a fairly hefty T-top but otherwise am fairly light. Right now I am able to achieve 27 kts. at WOT and I am comfortable being able to perform just as well with 5 adults on board.
I think your boat will perform allright with you and a buddy...but will very likley suffer if you add additional additional crew and gear.
