    Horsepower for a tournament 190

    200 hp, i believe is the max for the 190. i have a 96 yammie 200 and my tournament flies. i'd probably go with a 150 unless you don't mind paying the extra gas. that would give you plenty of power.

    Thinking about buying this fixer upper...

    You obviously want a boat if you are willing to look at said boat. But it is a disaster, rotten transom, wood eating ants. What is your budget? If you have some money keep looking because at this time you can practically name your price for a lot of boats.

    Thinking about buying this fixer upper...

    Unless you are a glutton for punishment or really want to spend an enormous amount of time reconstructing this boat, get something ready to go. A 1990 Overnighter in real good shape should be in the 8-10 grand range. And with the economy being what it is, I wouldn't be surprised if you...
