[QUOTE="jethro, post: 454233, member: 12381"] My rule of thumb is never buy a boat with less than 75% of it's max power rating. I'm usually hanging a kicker motor off with the main, so my 75% rule is to allow for the weight of that as well. And as said above, you never regret having too much motor. The 70 will probably pull you and skiers or tubes just fine. [/QUOTE]
