Hello! A local gentleman just donated a 1975 Sears 170 boat to me as a project that (like most of us lol!) never touched the water lol! So my turn. Looking for some free advice if you don't mind? She of course needs TLC. But most importantly, an outboard motor w/matching throttle n cables. Million Dollar question: Can you advise what size HP I should put on her? I don't want too little power and not too much power either. what size should I put on her? And I am searching preowned and older, all I can afford. Thanks! BN Text is fine too if easier:
