1986 16 ft starcraft

[pappy3]

I have a 16 ft aluminum walk-thru winshield starcraft that is rated for a 90 horse. I bought the boat with an johnson 88 spl it is a 1992 motor with pretty low hrs from the looks of it. I was wondering if I could go to a 50 horse newer model outboard like in the 2000 year model and still run pretty good? thanks

Hey Pappy, might want to ask also up in the boat topics and questions non repair forum.

I wouldn't go with less than a 70 or you won't be happy with it.

I had a 16' Starcraft with a 50hp on it. The boat moved fairly well with 1 person, but I always felt that a 85hp would be more favorable. Two or more people or a skier behind and you will wish you had more power.
