Navigation structure/engine weight 170 90hp

Hi, I write from Italy, I have a problem with the navigation structure of my aquasport 17 feet, I mounted a motor 90 hp johnson ocean runner, do you think is too heavy for this type of boat? Thanks

Not sure what you mean by navigation structure? But a 90 should be fine on a 17.

it's not too heavy for the back of the boat?

Well it is lighter than the 115 hp you use to have back there.

As stated above, the 90 hp is a great hp to weight ratio motor.

Might not be as fast WOT as your old 115 but should ride and handle very well.

Perfect size for your hull.

Good luck.

I assume your talking about a two stroke 90HP and not a four stroke.

I have a 90hp Ocean Pro on the back of my 170 and it is plenty of power.
