Power

I have the 75hp 4stroke on my 170cc and it is great! Plenty of power and I know I can get back as fast as possible if I need to. Fuel economy is very good. I also have the 24v Minn Kota set up and it works very well. 80lbs of thrust really moves this light boat around. Tides and currents can get pretty rowdy where I go so I opted for the power set up. I agree that it basically eliminates the use of the under console space. I believe it is best to have the most power you can afford for the once or twice you may actually have to rely on it and it becomes imperative.
Good Luck.
