150. I had that on mine and it was perfect (twin 75s). It would plane on one motor at 20 kts with other raised (with only driver on board). We loaded that boat with 4 people and building materials and cruised at 25 kts and 4100 rpm. A single 150 would be lighter and would rock! FWIW, I spoke with Bill Hourston about repowering, his opinion was 150 was perfect for that boat.
Skipper and Gilligan already tried it.
She would be a screemer! 150hp seems a little more appropriate. Really nice pod it is on at least!

That’s the value of the 1 year old motor so you’re getting a free hull and trailer and that one looks pretty decent. Probably a $15k package there.This looks like a deal...if it isn't sold already...

i shouldn’t be asking you; you old gear head, but isn’t that waaaay to much power/ weight for a 16?
Is this a members boat? I couldn’t find the number in the ad? Thanks guys
It’s in the ad. Within the email icon. Did you call yet?
It’s a ton of power, and I’m guessing it exceeds the recommended rating, but with no kicker weight, I’m sure it would stay afloat. Must break the speed of light at WOT
Thank you for posting! Scooped it. Been wanting to repower our 18’ Bridgeview CC which has a 2016 Merc 90. Swapping motors and buddy wants the DE for new family cabin in Point Roberts to leave in driveway down there. Even has photos of the glass work done by previous owner who used to work for DE apparently. Looks like clean little boat and some decent electronics to boot. Everyone wins.This looks like a deal...if it isn't sold already...

Dropping in to say thanks for posting! Got it surveyed and left from Vancouver to pick up in Port Alberni. Boat and trailer was in a little rough condition, but negotiated the price lower accordingly. I've taken it out a couple times, + the old man likes it. Thanks all for your help, especially those I DM'd.2001 Hourston 18.2 Sportsman. $26,500.
