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 - - Show 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. |
