Thoughts on the 224 Blackjack with 175 Mercury?

[Tomball Tiger]

Just my opinion but I wouldn't mount anything below a 225 on a 224 BJ, which is what I have. A 250 would be ideal and I am pretty sure you can mount a 300HP on it, according to Mr. Kenner. All that said, a 175HP boat would be underpowered.

I have taken everyone's advise, and I am going to get them to give me a quote with both the 225 Mer and also the 250 Verado. depending on the separation in price I will be happy with either.
