Mr C
I have a 170CC with a 60 hp 4 stroke Yamaha. I've pulled my son tubing and have plenty of power 37mph (GPS) WOT with a couple of adults.That said, if I had a boat full of people and planned on playing/tubing etc. I would opt for the 75hp. If it's not too late check on the price difference between the 60hp and the 75hp. I bet you'll find that the fuel burning difference is minimal. The etech weighs and little less that the Yamaha, so that will have a small affect on its performance. I fish 75% of the time and with no more than two adults. If I lived on the lake and cruised/tubed, etc I know that I would have chosen the 75hp. I would just have a tendency to want the extra HP in that environment. Good luck!!!!!
