Is 115hp. Enough
 

I'm looking to buy bay boat BTW 19-21. How does a 115hp push 19ft fiberglass bay boat with 2 maybe 3 people.

If I go with the 21ft Definitely getting 150hp or more. But I see a that a lot of 19ft boats have 115hp on the back.

Thanks

no

Longcast has an 1810 nautic with a 90 4 stroke, saltyshaw has a 18 or 19ft bluewave with a 90 4 stroke. Both seem to get where you wanna go.

No? What?

I saw how longcast boat performed last time I fish with him and followed him in my boat the nx. Not bad at all!

Always best to put the max hp on any boat. You will have a better holeshot and fuel economy when the motor does not have to strain.

Blazer bay rolled Hull 18ft boat is rated for 175 Max HP. Its a light, unfinished hull. To me a 115 on a finished boat would be to low

How much you looking to spend PM me my boat is fur sale

True. But I may buy used, just wondering if I go that route. 19 with 115

Actually how good/bad is the fuel
consumption on a 19ft. With 115 full tank and 2 people if someone has numbers.

Buddy of mine has a nautic star 2110 with 2 stroke 150hp merc and awsome on fuel and tops bout 47-49...

I have a 17' kirkland w/ 90 hp 4 stroke zuki that runs mid 30s w/ 3 and gear

I got a 200 on my 19' Boston Whaler but it's a tank.

i got a 18.5 ft striper center console with a 2 stroke 175---so no you need more

Absolutely...dont short change yourself in hp...fuel economy is better, your motor wont have to work as hard so you can set @ 4000 rpm and do 40 mph that's what your looking for.

I have a 19' Sea Pro w/Merc 115 4-stroke and it runs 41mph @ WOT but the hole shot is not what i would like.

I'd def put the max size that the boat is rated for....no two brand boats way the same so I wouldn't go off of what other people have....you won't regret goin with a lil bigger motor

Thanks for the info. I have a 17ft predator it does the job. 112 johnson. 30 gallon tank. But don't like the v in the front its to small. It will be up for sale soon!

I like the boats with the deep v nauticstar, blazer 2170 etc.

Hard to beat the nautic star for the money. They ride very good in a chop too.
