Is 400 ponies really necessary on these boats or is it just a Florida thing were you sometimes see 200 hp motors on 18' skiffs? I saw many 23' Jones Brothers on Harkers Island with single 150 hp on the transom and although they obviously don't have g force power, I spoke to a couple of owners and they were satisfied and claim the power was both sufficient and efficient.

Some of us down here in FLA do a lot of running and gunning for fishing. Its gotta be a blast to drive. Bahamas is also 50-60 miles due East. Boat was rated for this kind of power but the truth is, I have a single 200 HPDI and pushes my 23' cc nicely.

Damn birds and weedlines......
