I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.....I was concerned about a 150hp on a 25'R series (weight is about the same as yours) being enough motor....but it has a smooth ride at 36mph.....yours should ride very well for normal "pontoon cruising" with enough horses to pull a skier or challenge someone on a tube....the cost/benefit of more hp is a tough one for me to justify. You know the drill.........gotta post the pictures!
