Depends on the boat, on a 14 foot jon boat I would say LARGE!!!!!!!!!

did you notice the max hp rating on the nameplate. i would want something close or right on the max hp rating...on a 17+ foot boat i would probably call it small. most of them i see got 90-115, with some in the 50-75

Windstone is right......I had a boat one time rated for a 70 and it had a 50 on it....never did like it.....all my other boats since then I have used the max rated motor......just performs better.

I'd get a bigger motor too, but the Merc. 40-50-60 efi motors are great.

I have a bass tracker with a 75 2 stroke but I would trade for a 50 4 stroke. You will lose some speed them 4s are super quiet.

Take it for a test drive coach and if you like it buy it

would have kept mine but was going to have to put larger cmc jack plate and pods . Since I moved even a boat that size is not needed .
