Is this enough HP???

[mrgrumpy]

I'm thinking about buying a used 6.8 metre rib which comes with a two stroke 150 hp outboard. Do you think that a 150 hp outboard on a rib that size is man enough to make the ride both responsive and exhilerating?? If not then i'll hold out for something bigger......Thanks in advance.

It'll be fine but 200 would be finer.

We have 6.2m & 135hp and we can get 41knts+

On balance yes IMO , but if you load it up with lots of gear, say.. 6 peeps and all your gear for a day out, and the sea gives you some challenge on the way back, a little more would be nice

yes

6m with 115 and we get 40k comfortably with 6 and all the wakeboarding gear!

Thanks very much for all your input.....Much appreciated.

We used to have a 6.65m Cobra with a 150 yamaha 2-stroke HPDi and never found her to be under-powered.
