Go with the 150....... you'll slowly make your money back in gas savings.
(when no one is skiing). And you'll never regret underpowering it. If not
sure, ask to ski behind a 115 powered model. For that kinda money, they
outta make it happen.

Try to negotiate the 150's price - they have wiggle room.

Looking at purchase of a new Bennington pontoon tritoon performance plus
(25" tubes with lifting strakes)hull. The boat is a 22 foot and can take
up
to 175hp. What size motor should I get? I will want to get a skier out of
the water with 5 other adults on board and a four kids. Boat is rated for
14 passengers. Dealership sells 115hp on 90% but they are new at pontoon
style. I do not want to be undersized but do not want to pay $2900 for a
150hp if it is not necessary. Top speed is not an issue as long as we can
hit 25mph. Care less to run at 35mph but want to get skier out of the
water.
