It is the difference of having a planing hull or having a displacement hull. Without the stakes more HP gives you very little speed increase. You just make a bigger wake. The strakes get your boat on plane which cuts the drag and gives you the speed increase. With a 24' boat and 115hp, you will need all the help you can get. We always recommend a minimum of 150. Doesn't matter which brand.
