What engine to run on 850lb. Skeeter wrangler 120hp. 15,1/2ft.

Engine on boat in pic is 1990 evenrude225 w/low water pick up

Yes I see that, I didn't have time to finish my post. The 1750 for sale from another thread here would fit that boat well. But you're full up with OMC !

That's why I run an allison w a 3,4 litre

I really like the old Allison short front deck looks like a tri hull but is a v- hull don’t think it’s stepped don’t know what model it is but would buy one if I could find one. They would fly w/ a 200 on em and back then they were cross flow omc on ones I saw! I’ve had merc’s and omc on my boats throughout the years they are both good in my opinion merc seem to have more on top, omc seems to have torque but what do I know. Lmk about 1750, happy safe boating to everyone and thanks much!

Theres 2 for sale in under 20ft section , looks b nice boat xheap. It's not xb tho

I took JP down from almost 14in.to 9in and went testing 3in below pad at around 64 it started venalating or chine walking. Floor it can’t get flat out got to get out pretty immediately. Going to raise motor more to see if I have too much load on pad. Got a question if I make my concave pad flat will it help porpoiseing. I know it will slap waves more and not corner as good,don’t think it would make it much more fun to have to drive it! Oh drives like dream at neutral trim. I also added bob’s tru tracker hydrofoil.

Tryin rasing it back up but my guess u will never get full potential from motor cause it's just gonna get to stupid, that's the prob I had , I was runnin jp all way up and 7 in set back. could had went up more , 64 65 is where mi e was bad , I could push it fast to 70 but had get out pretty quick. jmo. Hope u do figure it out

You’re gonna have to learn how to drive through the chinewalk. Small, correctly timed steering corrections

But they r really really fun to drive up to that point

I took mota off pit on 18.5 and runs around ur goal so far without much setup time,
