Jet outboard size for an 18' Lowe Jon Boat with tunnel and jet Yamaha

I am thiniking about buying a Lowe 1860vt tunnel jon boat. Boat weight
is listed at 570 lbs.

I am receiving different dealer recommendations on Yamaha 4 cyl jet
engine size. One says a minimum of 90 HP (60 usable) and another says
60 HP (40 usable) is fine. The one recommending the 90 HP says that it
will take forever to get on plane.

Can you help me?

Doug

What's the maximum size allowed for the boat?
