If you intend to operate your boat at displacement
speeds (that is, speeds below those where the hull rises up and rides on top
of the water), then 90 to 100 horsepower sounds like a good initial estimate.
I have a chart which estimates the horsepower required, based on the boat's
length and weight, and the speed desired.
