Buying 1st boat

scottb I am new to this site and actually new to the boating world. I am looking to purchase a lunker 165 cs alumacraft. Based on price I can go with a 25 or 30 four stroke or a 40 Yamaha 2 stroke. the 30hr does not have power trim. I have no idea about engines. is a 25 going to push water.
thanks in advance

suzukidave Get the Yamaha 2002-06-26
Major Woods Get the largest motor you can afford. I have yet to hear of someone complain about to much power on there boat. [Wink] 2002-06-27
blifsey Get max HP for boat if you can afford it. Not only will you be happier with boat. If you resell it later, it will bring more $$$ plus be easier to sell. Also, power tilt/trim is nice to have.
