[QUOTE="thefirstbert, post: 487636, member: 31580"] I had a boat that size when i lived out west. The 20hp i had was just perfect. Parts were easy to find and had the power to move the boat without any trouble. Lakes with 2 people loaded down with plenty of fishing gear and plenty of "cooler"-no problem The feather river, medium current with the same load proved no problem at all. Remember that a larger motor doesnt get worked as hard for the same load as a smaller engine. This means less maintenance Having said that, always keep your weight in mind to not overload the boat and motor for the conditions. The weight of your outboard factors into this [/QUOTE]
