Tracker PT 175
I have a Tracker PT 175, thinking about putting a 4 stroke 20hp on the back. Any ideas about top speeds(average load two fishermen). I have a 2 stroke 25 hp now and get 24mph top on good calm days. Any input would be great...

My thoughts are your new top speed would be 19-21mph. It also may be more labored for the boat to plane out. I can understand the 20hp reasons (hp limit lakes) Personally you will have to think about whats important to you. Better speed and power, or more lakes.
You can alway have a kicker for the HP lakes, just a thought

I split most of my time between rivers and 20hp lakes. I love the lakes but can only use the trolling motor as of now. Rivers are closer and not as busy as the lakes.

Four strokes have come a long way, but then again so have two strokes. I think you'll be disappointed in the four stroke 20 after using the 25. You will be legal on restricted lakes though...
