That will be perfect. He had a 150 HO at the boat show...it was impressive.

As you're aware...Bombardier plays it coy on the propshaft HP rating for that engine. Suffice it to say she'll be a ball 'o fire. Looking forward to seeing the performance numbers. Open transom...betcha she'll run 37 at 4300...just loping along :salut:

Whooooweee, she looks awesome

I agree,  I think you'll be really happy with a  150, (perfect for a flatback.)  Remember these boats dont require high horsepower to get moving.

Hey ashley, where about's are you located?

That's what I'm hoping for (37 @4300) with a top end in the low 40's. I'll get back to you on that.
