Bachus,
Welcome aboard!
I've posted many comments here extolling the virtues of the 60HP 4 stroke on my Nauset...it's strong, reliable and efficient. All motors on the boat have been 60 - 70 HP...none of them seemed to have a problem achieving plane in a fully loaded boat. The current Suzuki has proven to be the best so far....
I wouldn't put less than a 50 on one...and I think a 90+ is a bit much...but that's just my opinion after 45 years...the rest of the members here are not bashful about sharing theirs....:)
This subject comes up a lot!
My motor is now 8 years old with 756 hours...
I anticipate running her for a number of years to come...Suzuki estimates 10,000 hours of life expectancy...
