    looking for opinions. I have a 90hp evinrude outboard and i’m looking for a boat to put it on. I have a lead on a 1992 “nitro” bass boat. The boat formerly had a 115 evinrude which I’m guessing may have even been a bit underpowered. I don’t care how fast it goes, I’m just wondering if my 90 would get a boat like that up on plain…good enough to do 25/28 mph. I know it’s not ideal..but it would be a good deal. Any thoughts???

    Would need a little more information then a 1992 Nitro what size Nitro 16 foot or 21. If it was a 16 to 18 foot you should not have an issue. May not get up on plane real quick but it should get the job done.

    oops–it’s a 19′. it’s on ebay, closing tonight. it’s currently @ $800 (please don’t bid against me)

    auction number: 120103519996

    so, any thoughts as to how a 90hp would do on a big tub like that?

    I don’t think that 90hp is going to help you much on a 19′ boat. My guess is that the 19′ boat is rated for 200hp?
