Default Single 250 or Twin 150s?

What do you plan to do with the boat and where are you?

Around here, NC, lot of people that like to fish the gulfstream prefer twins
because you always have one to get home with. As well as running the
inlets, if you lose one you're not in trouble.

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.
