The only brand I would avoid is Evinrude. Service techs/centers were hard enough to come by as it was, and with the recent announcement of a shutdown it isn’t going to improve.

Once you narrow down your choices to 1 or 2 individual boats come back and ask for feedback for guys that have them, how much hp they have, and their experiences. Then you’ll get more than the generic “max it out” answer.

X2 on max horse power. All preformance tests on new boats were done with max horse power on the boat.
