246 knots
it should probs have a motor beetween 70 and 115hp check the hp rating on your boat on the capacity plate
I saw one today with a 115 and some on line with more than that.
A Johnson outboard, model number JW-17, would be a 3 hp engine, manufactured in 1961-62.

I feel it worth adding a few words about my experience: I visited the NEC boat show in Feb 2010 with the intention of buying an Inflatable Boat and an outboard to go with it. After looking around the show, comparing all the boats and engines on offer, I finally settled on purchasing a full package from Terry at Excel boats which is based in Sutton Coldfield. We bought the SD330 Inflatable Boat and a Vector 5hp Outboard and the price was very keen. Terry was excellent in explaining everything we needed to know and we were impressed with the quality of both the Excel Boat and the Vector Outboard we bought. Some 17 months later and many a happy hour of trouble free boating, we do find people commenting on the quality of both the boat and the engine. So my answer is yes, Excel Boats and Vector Outboards are good, reasonably priced and I would highly recommend anyone purchasing them.
Mine has a 12 3/4 X 21 and does well (I believe it's my stock prop). I'm pushing a 17' Skeeter Bass Boat. Hope this helps. Scott
It depends on how heavy the boat is and what performance you want from it. A 5hp outboard will happily push a 17ft fibreglass boat with a couple of adults aboard up to 4 or 5 mph in still water. but, acceleration will be slow and you will not make headway against any sort of current. Bear in mind also that these small engines need to be revved very high to keep the boat moving and so are not the best thing for river touring. I found that my, (rather heavy), 17ft dayboat performed fairly well in slow moving rivers using a 9.9hp outboard but needed a 25hp engine in order to make reasonable headway in tidal coastal waters and not feel vulnerable to the changing currents. If the transom will take the load I would go for something around 40hp to give good all-round performance.

boy- 100m in less than 17 girl- 100m in less than 20
It all depends on your boat first and the actual skiers to a lessor degree. If you have smaller ski or fishing boat (19' or shorter), then that is more than enough power to pull whatever or whoever you want to with it. I am 6'1" and stocky in my earlier days, but I have skied behind a 17' bass boat with a 70 hp outboard pretty effortlessly. If your boat is 20' or larger, then it comes down to the weight of your boat, the type of prop you have, etc. and it is less likely that you will be skiing much with that boat/motor combination. **Worse case, try it... You will either pull the skiier up, or not. Remember too that you can change your prop to a power take off prop that will give you more BITE from a dead stop for this situation, but takes a little of your top end speed away.

first kill all the fat lady and try to send the black evil thing into the boat, and then undo one of the strings on the good dude and he should fall into the boat
