It really is surprising how little horse power is required to push these boats well. I’d go as light as possible. I run a 3 cylinder 90 hp 2 stroke on my 18 and to be honest I think a 70 would push it just fine. Running in ocean conditions I almost think I’d rather have a 70 2 stoke than a 115 2 stroke. I personally can’t imagine putting a 150 four stroke on the stern although I’m sure people have done it.
