Engine upgrade possible?

[RetiredC17load]

New to the pontoon world, purchased a 2006 2050 RL with a Yamaha 50 HP 4 stroke. Runs great but for me seems a little underpowered. Just wondering if anyone can help me with how large can I go on this model? I have seen some sites say 90 HP is max but I have seen other posts that people have put a 115 HP on. I would like to get around 25 MPH instead of the 12-13 I get now. Thanks all, look forward to any insight.

What does the tag say next to the helm?

If the tag is missing ,you can also email Bennington with your hull ID .They can you give you your complete specs

Thanks everyone. I looked at the tag and it read 100 hp, so it looks like a 90 it will be.

If it is a 2 toon with no lifting strakes, the 90 hp will not get you 25 mph.

May need to stay with same brand motor due to rigging
