Default Single 250 or Twin 150s?

Seafox 256CC is the make and model number.

Howdy,


I am looking at a nice 25' center console fishing boat that weighs
3700
pounds dry and without power. Will a Suzuki 250 be enough get up and
go or
will a pair of 150s be necessary? I think 3700 is pretty light for a
25' CC
compared to a Grady or Mako. Thoughts? My piggy bank would like to say
single.


Thanks,


Lance


I have a good friend with a Judge 28'. He has a Honda 90 4-stroke on
the
back. It trolls nicely. Top speed is around 27mph. It takes a while to
get
on plane, but it will - eventually.


It's all in how fast you want to go. Harry has 150hp on a 21' CC that
is,
according to him, pretty heavy. He's very pleased with it.


The dry weight of my boat is either 2950 or 3000 pounds. I suspect the
latter is with the molded in front seats, which I did not get. The 150
is terrific.- Hide quoted text -

All in all, I don't think anyone can other than guess until this guy
tells us what make and model so we have an idea of hull configuration.
