[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 483575, member: 22613"] A 90 is about right for that. Is the capacity plate still legible, I bet it is rated around 100hp. That is a big water style fishing boat, not a stripped utility hull. If you have any plans to get on large bodies of water, get the bigger motor. A 50 would really struggle with that, a 70 would be marginal. If you're just going to be running in small lakes or rivers, you could probably get by with less. My 17' Tracker is rated for 90hp. I wouldn't want any less than a 60 on it. 75-115hp is common for 17-18' aluminum boats. [/QUOTE]
