The 170 Dauntless with a 90HP Mercury four stroke will be woefully low powered, IMO. After owing a Dauntless 16 with a 115HP two stroke I can tell you the difference in high and low speed performance is almost unbelievable.

The 16 is such a sweet boat that I would repower to a 115. The value will be in the use of the boat more than how much you have spent.
