It's a 25 transom. The best weight to power is a 360lb v4 130 Yamaha. The 88 handles weight pretty well. 150 2 stroke is 47-48 mph. If you are willing to live with the extra stern weight, 425 will work. Handling is better with less weight though.

Once again, it is a 25. The only way it doesn't is if it was cut down to accommodate a 20 after the factory 25 was built. The reason why I know, is I owned a 18SF 88 and 89 and my parents own an 87.

If you want a Yamaha four stroke 115, that would be a great weight to power choice .

I have the df140 4s Suzuki and it is too heavy, but, manageable. Mine is a '75 though.

nice pickup, seems to be in good shape. My only question would be to the previous owner, why did you install that screw right through the Hull ID plate.

I have had many of those moments.
