My boats rated for a 60hp consol or 35hp tiller.I have no consol so should I look for a 35hp tiller or would 75% of that be good enough?

Re: quick question

it's better to have more hp than needed, as long as you stay within the rating. i would atleast look for a 30 or 35. you don't have to use all of the hp, but running from a storm, or carrying a heavier than normal load, it is nice to have.
