<br /><br />I honestly believe that any motor up to 115 would be fine with that boat as long as its in good shape, meaning the transom. If you do a USCG on the transom and beam and length it comes out to 120 hp. Length is actually 17.5 Feet. Beam/Width is 6 feet. Transom is 20 inches.<br /><br />I have also tried the 180 degree wheel test at WOT. you barely get any G's at all. That hull really holds the water and rides extremly nice too. They call it sequential lift, I don't know why as there is not any real planing till 16 mph then it rises smoothly and I cannnot get it to porpose even with the motor raised as high as it will go. I like that feeling. <br /><br />If you have to you could get any 90 Hp motor and put on there. I would discuss this with the insurance agent first however. They might throw a hissy over the extra 5 hp. Originally posted by Realgun:<br /> Basically the boats designed for that motor. The max rating is 85HP. Since Bayliner only had that motor, boat, and trailer they sold it as a package and the max motor of course is an 85 H.P. <br /><br />Also note the 15 footer is maxed at 50 and the 19 is 120-125 depending on year. What a coincidence.
