1990 skeeter 175sf power rating

[murdrd_out]

I saw a skeeter 90 175 sf in the local classifieds. The boat looks well taken care of but the only problem is that it has a blown motor. It's listed for cheap and I was wondering what's the max hp you could put on one. I wouldn't mind to get it but just making sure if the engine that goes on it is easy go find cause I have no idea where any outboards are around here for sale. Thanks for any help !!!

It is rated for a 175 hp motor, before buying check the transom out real good. These boats were known for their transoms rotting out. It is still a great boat though.
