Author	Topic:   REVENGE 21: 115-HP Enough for Four and Gear
quahog03	posted 03-31-2007 06:45 AM ET (US)         Hi. I'm [considering the purchase of] a 1976 Revenge 21 with a 2000 Yamaha [115-HP two-stroke] outboard. I am just wondering if a 115-HP is a proper fit for this size boat. I'm not a speed guy, however my normal load might be three or four people with gear. Thanks ,Ed

I've had 10 persons in my 1972 outrage with a dying 1981 140-HP Evinrude (which is closer to 115-HP, and I'm lucky if I get 100-HP now). It still gets on a plane with that load and will cruise at 25-MPH. With four aboard it is much peppier. With a strong [Yamaha 115-HP two-stroke] I think you'll be fine.
