Default Re: 23 sceptre power

Our '82 Sceptre had a '89 225 Evinrude that gave it a 24 mph cruise and a 35-36 mph top end (144 gallon fuel tank). Based on the age of the engine and the way HP was rated back then, that engine may have only been putting out 180 HP at the prop, so a newer 150 may not be too far off my figures. However, the 150 may be overburdened trying to push so much boat. At least the 225 had the torque, that 150 won't.
