115 HP is the minimum HP recommended for the 190 Montauk. Don't expect sparking performance from that engine - power combination. Our previously owned 190 Montauk was powered by a 135 HP supercharged Verado engine. I would describe the performance as excellent. Our engine was at the original factory height and had the original propeller. IIRC the top speed was mid forties depending upon sea state and load. The boat was not equipped with a bow rail, a savings of several pounds forward. The acceleration was exceptional. We sold the boat due to my advancing age.
