JR,

I would go for the most legal HP you can get.

I have never had anyone complain about too much HP after they purchased a
boat.

I would get a new Yamaha HPDI 150hp or even a 175hp.

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.
