We have a 24 ft Grumman with a 88HP motor. Its a 91 model. The boat is rated for a 90.

The problem with the older boat such as mine is that it doesn't have the larger diameter pontoons that most newer models have and tends to plow when we have multiple people sitting toward the bow.

Depending on the diameter of the pontoons I would think for yalls use the smaller boat should be sufficient ( based on your initial post). Also if you like to fish the smaller engine would be more efficient should you desire to troll.

Before you purchase, be sure to test drive and load the bow of the boat with some folks. You neither want the boat to plow or lift the motor to the point cavitation occurs.

Happy boating, be safe and God Speed to you.
