    I am running a 40hp Yamaha 2 stroke on my pontoon boat is only has 2 pontoons it is about 19.5ft. Top speed is about 18-19mph with me and the wife and that’s not all the way full throttle but close. When we start adding people to the boat it slows it way down. I have had about 7 people on it at once and the 40hp works like crazy just to go fast enough for a breeze but its a good time. Normally its just me and the wife so we like the 40hp its also easy on fuel. Don’t know if this helps but I do believe the hull drag concept I could go with a much larger engine but I don’t believe I would get much more speed except for when I got a lot of folks it would come in handy.
