This is my boat. It came with a 25 horse evinrude, but i put it in the shop to get it ready and they replaced an engine coil and just found out that the flywheel is cracked too. I'm running low on funds so I am considering putting it on craigslist for a trade with a working outboard of lower HP.

My question is this...I want to fish on semi-large lakes with the boat, but what kind of HP minimum would you recommend to be safe out there?

Looks like a 16'?? My 16' mirrocraft is rated for a max of 35hp. the 25 will probably push the boat just fine! I wouldn't recommend going smaller than a 20.

Seems your logic is a bit off, it will most likely cost you more to source a new motor than it would to fix the flywheel.
