I am repowering my 1962 Currituck. I know that the hull is rated for up to 100hp. It has a 60 hp two-stroke Evinrude that felt about right (when it was running). I have had a lot of trouble with this motor and am putting a new four-stroke on. I have a 50 hp Yamaha ready to go on. Of the motors I found in stock, this seems like the best value. Am I going to regret not putting a bigger motor on?

I use this boat as a runabout on a small freshwater lake in northern WI. A couple of times a year, I trailer it to other lakes for fishing. I will do more of that with a reliable motor that can troll slow.

I have 16 - 21-year old kids starting to use the boat and definitely don't want to have it be over-powered.

I also have a classic Master Craft ProStar 190 for pulling the kids on skis so I don't need to use the whaler for that.

I welcome opinions.
