Help with Outboard Upgrade

badradbad2k9 · 04-12-09, 08:23 PM

I have a bass tracker 1999 Pro team 175 with a maximum HP rating of 75hp. Currently I have a 25hp 2cycle that runs 22mph WOT. I want to go faster but am curious how much faster a 60hp or a 75hp 2cycle would push my boat. Also, is this too heavy for my boat? I did a custom job and put two optimas along with the cranking battery under the deck in the front by pulling up the plywood and putting it back down. This levels out the boat and allows for more storage space. Now 100lbs that was in the rear is now in the front of the boat. My motor is 112 lbs. Im not sure how much a 2 cycle 60 or 75hp weights but im guessing between 250 and 300lbs.
