Thinking of putting a new 50 hp Suzuki--is it enough to get up on plane with
A couple of people on board??

While you can plane with that load if rigged and propped correctly, why just a 50hp? 70hp would be better, 90hp ideal.

I agree--local dealer had great price on leftover 50--looking for feedback--I'm thinking 70. Best time to buy? Now or winter boat show?
Thanks

You want at least a 70 hp engine.
Best time to buy is when the manufacturer of the engine you have decided on is offering rebates and/or extended warranty promotions.
