Hi John,
I think that 80% of max power is OK, but I am one for max power myself.
What is this boat rated for max HP?

Hi All,
First time boat owner, so I don't really know too much about them.
I just got a 1988 Falcon Striper Pro boat. Needs some cleaning up, and
some
work done to it, it also needs a motor and controles. My question is what
size motor should I consider putting on it.
I plan to just use it for fishing in the local lakes. We are not
interested
in using it to ski or going supper fast. I would like for the motor to
have
enough power to get me off the lake quickly in the event of a storm
blowing
up.
I realize the boat is rather old, but I made what I think to be a pretty
good deal when I bought it, so I don't have a lot of money tied up in it
right now.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
John
