Don't go marginal on the motor thinking you will save fuel. It is better to cruise around at 1/2 throttle with a larger motor than full bore on a smaller one. Believe me on this one!!

Believe me on this one!!RIGHT ON MAC!! Get the biggest motor the boat is rated for, or at least the best you can afford. Its never bad to have a little extra power, but it SUCKS being underpowered.
Buzz bait, how are you measuring your speed? GPS or speedo or depthfinder? 30 sounds fast for that set up. I had a 25 on a 14 Smokercraft and could barely get 25 mph on my GPS (the most accurate measure). Just wondering
