Single 150hp on 23ft Seacraft CC

[77SceptreOB]

I'm sorry guys but I'm having a real hard time believing all this chat about a 150 HP four stroke being a good Idea on a 23' SeaCraft. Being an original owner of a 23' SeaCraft for 40 years (next month) and having run 200 HP and 225 HP, I can't imaging dropping down to 150 HP. Now if these new 150's (rated) are pumping out near 200 HP (which I seriously doubt) then maybe, just maybe it would be an okay recommendation. And to top it off, I've been running 2 strokes to boot....more low end torque, better power to weight ratio, etc. I never like to say "never" but I'm going to have to personally run one of these 150 hp 23' rigs in some ocean slop, loaded down to be a "believer". Just my $.02, fire away...
