[QUOTE="richg99, post: 171965, member: 4376"] Too much power can be a bad thing...but...if the boat is rated for it, then the power may be "just right". I have a wide 16...(160W Lowe) with a 40 that runs fine. It is, however, rated for 70 hp! Sounds like a good deal, if you can have the motor checked out first. I always do a compression test and hear it run. That doesn't tell you anything if the lower unit has issues, but a mechanic can tell you a lot for $100 or so. Rich [/QUOTE]
