    2000 Adventure 208 is 150 HP enough???

    no 175 was fine. just wondering if i could save money by going smaller. probably no much savings so i should stick with 175 or more i think the boat was rated for 225-250 2 stroke wich was about 500lbs so i'll stick with a 4 stroke at or below that weight
