If you are looking at a new one, they come pre-rigged standard with a Mercury 115 hp engine. There is an option for a 135 hp engine (max hp for the hull). No other engine brand is offered.
This model would do fine in off-shore conditions assuming you use prudent judgement. If you go far, consider adding a kicker engine for added safety.
