Frank,
The best way to tell if 130HP is enough. Take the boat for a sea trial before you buy it. Take all your fishing buddies with you and maybe one more to equal the weight you will have for ice,beer,food,etc. Take it in the ocean and see if it has enough power for you. If it has a T-Top on it it will create drag;if it doesn't and you are plannig on adding one remember it will create drag. I have a 195CC with a 150HP 4 stroke Yamaha. It is perfect for the 195CC. I think most of the guys with 215CC's have 150HP and love it.Just an opinion.Good luck
JD
