For 5 years I owned a SeaPro 206cc with a F150 and could get 45 MPH loaded with 1/2 tank of fuel. If I would have a 200 HP, I could only get an extra 3 MPH and it would greatly hurt the MPG. The size and weight of the Sea Hunt is not much different to the SeaPro. Look at the Yamaha performance data. If more HP is a must, consider as an option, getting the boat with a Suzuki DF175...gives you the maximum HP with the weight of a 150. |
"wet feet?" What are you talking about? I've had plenty of souls/soles on my boat fishing in all sorts of reasonable conditions out on the Gulf and nobody ever came close to getting "wet feet."
I do over 50mph with a tank of gas and three people. I git all askeered when it hits 50 and back off so I don't really know what it'll do.
Nothing wrong with a zuk 175, but don't tell stories that you make up.
