Sea Hunt Triton 212-underpowered?

[GBOUTDOORS]

I have the 2101 DC Seaswirl with a Yamaha 150 HPDI and get 40 in good seas 42 in flat seas. If it was a four banger I would go with 200 as you will not like the pickup even with a 150 four.


Hi John sorry I could not make the TFCTF night.:-(

Sorry to say that I am with the rest of this crowd that believes a 115 would be underpowered. I fish with Moses regularly and he is always contemplating putting a 200 on his Sea Hunt 22. In general I believe dealers sell boats with the bare minimum engine in order to keep the price down.

["uffah!!"]

I have a 212 w/a with a 150hp and think my boat is underpowered.

Absolutely underpowered.

Dealers do it to keep the cost down and sell the boat.
They'd love it if you repower in a couple of years.
There is more than just a 35 HP difference between a 115 and a 150. Two more cylinders for one.,

I agree with whoever here said get the most HP rated for the boat for the best performance.

My 20 walk came with a 150 and it was underpowered. Much better now, and I'm still not at the max allowable.

Good Luck
