I would really consider going with a little bigger motor because of weight and getting the boat to plain out more quickly. This will be much better on fuel because of less drag on the boat. Most boat dealers will put a less HP motor because of price savings to them. If the boat is is rated for a 115 hp they will put a 75 on it most times. Trust me I used to commercial fish at the outer banks for 20 yrs and the worst thing to ever do to a boat is under power it. Spend the extra money for the maximum hp allowed on the boat even for an aluminum boat. Imo
