[QUOTE="Sub_Elect, post: 119177, member: 1014"] I all reality anyone can justify a bigger motor or a smaller motor. The fact is, if you want to run further in harsher weather than you need a bigger boat to get there faster and in more comfort. If you want a bigger boat but are one of the guys saying they can get it done with a smaller motor than go ahead and put a 115 on a 21' boat, only realize it wont even get on plane. If you have the means to get a bigger boat than its just foolish to NOT max out the horse power. I can tell you that it was the larger boat and smoother ride that gave me more fishing time at the DWC this year than the 350 on the back of the boat. But the price difference between a 250 verado and a 350 verado on a 70 or 80 thousand dollar boat is negligible. The bigger the hull the more HP you want to push it, or you'll be unhappy and write all over forums how your 21' Ranger only does 45 mph with the 200 you picked to go on the back of it. [/QUOTE]
