Re: Savage ranger 455
Tackleberry does have a point. Once loaded up a two stroke can drink fuel like nobodies business. It's at the bottom end of OK but not preferable. Many will say that an ally hull should have its max HP rated outboard. I'm a big fan of 4 strokes but you often only get what you pay for. My guess is that 40 is the minimum rated HP for this hull and something like 75 is max.

Ideally 50 plus would be better.....

Re: Savage ranger 455
The 40 would be ok being such a light boat, but a 60 as the minimum would be better. Better on a motor to not be sitting at wot just to get anywhere or straining to get the boat planing from a standing start.
As for the boat, they're ok. Being such a light boat they bang and crash in any sort of chop, fine if you're used to it though
