[QUOTE="GYPSY400, post: 393847, member: 8599"] An old boat rated for 40hp, would be rated at 30 at today's standards.. The motors of today ( since the mid 90's) are prop rated and old ones are crank rated.. I think you would be very happy with a 25 or 30hp.. 20hp is a little small for a 16 ft. My new (2011) 16ft legend has a 30 2stroke and it has plenty of power.. A 25 would have been "good enough" but I think a 20 would have been too small. Btw.. My boat does 30mph with just me in it and no gear. [/QUOTE]
