find out the weight rating for the transom and work from there, then shop around using the weight as a guide

i had a 3.9m savage i think a while ago and it had a 20hp johnson on it. was most capable of towing 1 bicuit behind it. i dont think there was a time someone didnt had his shirt ripped off or lose his shorts(mooning the fish). its more tan enough for that
