Default Power for a restored 18SF

I just purchased a 1974 18' Sea Craft from a friend. It has a freshly restored transom and new gas tank. Boat is in nice shape but doesn't have power. So I am looking for a used four stroke outboard. What does everyone recommend? I see a lot of people talking about 150HP on the Potter 18s. Would 90-115HP be enough, or will I be wanting more power? I fish on the Long Island Sound and do mostly shorter hops - usually not more than 10-15 miles from my home port of Stamford. I was thinking of trying to find a low hours 2-3 year old 115HP Suzuki or Yamaha. Thoughts?

Thanks, Pete
