[QUOTE="Fester, post: 461213, member: 6300"] 115 is plenty to pull tubers, water ski, wake board etc. Wake board your pulling the person at around 12-17mph and depending on the toon with a 115hp you could do 24-27mph. One thing i would be aware of is electrical. The smaller engines use a stator vs alternator. If you plan on having a large sound system or anything that needs large amounts of electricity be aware of the amp output on the motor. Majority of the time a pontoon is idling along and using very very little horsepower..they are living rooms on the water. A buddy had a 200 on his pontoon and wishes he would have never got it. Idling along uses more fuel then a 115/150hp and the cost associated with the engine he feels will never get it out of it when he sells. I would not go smaller then a 115hp though. That would be the lowest i would go for pulling. In your situation it would be the engine i would choose though as its great on fuel, can pull whatever you want and reliable. Like i said before though the only concern i may have is electrical. If you dont plan on a big stereo with amps then 100% it would be the 115hp. [/QUOTE]
