Since the boat is a 16' SKIFF and based on the spec sheet, I would say it is a 50HP.....Usually with a Skiff you can get by with a less HP motor than a standard fiberglass boat from what I have seen.

I hate to bust your bubble,but if you plan on using it in sw DO NOT buy a honda. They are known for corrosion problems causing overheats and premature breakdown.

USCG uses Honda's on most of their boats at Lake Charles.
They do pull them every day and do maint. on them.

Hey Cat check this boat out, its prob more seaworthy but not as wide. Simple no thrills fishing boat, and a Tiller handle 50 Zuki will do about 36 mph.
