Has any one looked at or have any input on this Proline boat? Powered with a 150 HP Suzuki.

Check into Consumer Reports, Boating magazine, and boating sea trials.

Pro Line seem to have a better than average quality build and Suzuki is a good OB.

Max HP is 200 on that rig. Don't think you will be happy with 150HP.

Took a ride on this boat yesterday and was pretty impressed.
Three adults and half tank of fuel (approx 35 gals). Top end was just below 50 MPH and cruise was about 34 MPH @ 3800 RPM.

I have a 21' sea hunt CC with a 150 and it does great around the lower bay and rivers where you are. The 150 does fine but if I had a magic wand I'd like 25-50 more HP--but maybe not with the gas prices now! Good safe dry comfortable fishing cruising and family boat. You won't go out in the wind but you can get home in it--my wife and I ran back from second island to back river in 25 mph winds and stayed dry, but it was some work. I don't choose to go out if it's over 15 to start with, unless I'm going to known protected water. Perfect boat for the rivers around here and manageable in shallow water.
If you paint the bottom you will loose that top speed, but it will still go 34!

Any idea of what they had for a prop?
