How much hp for this boat

[CPTom21]

I recently found a 1990 Four Winns Freedom 150, she needs an engine though. I can't find the plate with HIN, max cap., max HP. If anyone has or had this boat, and knows it's max HP I would love to know it.

The 4Winns website has old catalogs and this boat was sold with an option of a 50hp or 60hp. I have a working Mercury 80hp(controls and everything) lying around that I will use. It seems like too much HP though?!?!

That hull is rated for 60 hp.

Four Winns was owned by OMC at the time your boat was built and they only sold them with motors attached. Therefore the largest motor they offered it with, is the largest motor the hull is rated for.
