Hi guys ,
I am in the process of getting a repower on my 5mt quintrex millennium
I am looking at a 130 yammy 4 stroke I no it's abit of an overkill but would this still work ok for the specs of my boat... as I currently running a 70 hp short leg ..
I am going too raise and beef up the transom as this motor is a long leg
my question is ..
- will the boat plain ok or will the nose be out of the water at all times not allowing the boat too plain? It's only 50kg heavier then the original motor..
thanks any info will be appreciated

That's a massive motor for
That's a massive motor for that size boat, I've got a 540 Coastrunner with 90 Suzi and it's plenty of grunt. Why so big?
Love the West!

Definitely overkill
Seems to me something in the 70- 90HP would be a better fit for normal uses. I don't think the ride is good enough to enjoy going faster than a 90 would push it in any sort of sea. The 130 also likely outside the boat's HP rating, plus too heavy and more expensive.
