1983 Alumacraft 175

[samaral]

I'm looking at one tonight. It's a center console and has a 60hp 4 stroke on it. Im worried that a 60 might be to small for the boat. I can't find any info on max HP on line. Also anyone know anything about these boats? Thanks

I have a 60hp 4 stroke on a 16'-7" Lund and no problem,moves it along nicely. That being said , take a test drive with 2 more people in the boat and see how it performs. My guess is it's rated for about 75 HP . Alumacraft are decent boats and given the age you may be replacing the wood in the transom and or flooring.
