Nice boat, well done, but is 30hp a bit over gunned for the boat and what you will be using it for? Me I would fit a big V8 but for cost's a 15 or 20hp should surfice for what you require.

Gonna be used offshore but only on fine days. 20/3Ohp will allow me to run for cover if needed.
Agreed max for boat is 30hp and it should do 25 to 30 knots in flat calm.
Prob go with 20hp for fuel economy.
