[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 474894, member: 22139"] A 115 would be a decent choice. A 90 would probably push it fine, even a 70 if it was just 2 people. If you go too small it will struggle and fuel economy suffers. A larger motor will have the power to pop it up on plane and throttle back to cruise. Also important to look at the weights of various motors. Motors are often made in families such as 70-80-90 for example, so it's beneficial to get the most powerful one for the weight. If you decide to go four stroke, keep in mind that weights are generally more than a comparable 2 stroke. I currently own only small outboards but fish with a friend out of a similar weight and capacity Lund with a Yamaha 115 and it's been flawless since 2000 and pushes that boat well even loaded.
