that same hull used to be rated for a 250, if you can find the performance bulletins from about 3 years ago, you'd see that. I think they changed it to 150 in order to make you go to the 224xts, which is more expense, to get the 250.
I'm pretty sure it would be underpowered with a 150 though. That performance bulletin shows that was with only 1 battery and 2/3 tank of gas. Once you add ice, tackle, 2-3 more guys, 3 more batteries for 36vt tm, and all the other fishing gear, you'll probably lose 6-7mph.
