I am considering a super sport 170. My concern is that it might be slightly underpowered for water sports. I'm 6'5", 220... Not sure 90hp is sufficient. I currently have a dauntless 200 which I like quite a bit, but need a bit shallower draft as getting to the bay behind my house requires going through a couple tight spots. Last night I had the toughest workout in 20 yrs pulling the dauntless through a sandbar.

Anyone have thoughts or experience with putting a larger than spec engine on a whaler?
