OK guys,
I acquired a 1985 17 ft Mitch Craft open fishing, CC (made by Russ
Mitchell boats in Sarasota,FL.) with a late 50 hp Force on it.

It's a nice style hull that i've been looking to get for years to fish
around the flats here in SW FL.

Problem---- There in No Capacity or Horsepower plate on this boat and I
would like to Upgrade the engine after I freshen up the hull etc.

The hull, stringers, transom are all solid.

How big of an engine can this boat take ? Is there a Formula to figure
this out ?

I can't find any info on the web on this hull at all ;-(

TIA, Joe

I had a 70hp on a 15' center console Boston Whaler. I would think a 90hp would
be about max for a 17'er. I'd try to find some ads for similar boats on the net
and see how they're powered.

You could call the manufacturer:
