Min. HP for '96 Parker 170 fisherman?

[Brickhouseboat]

Hey thanks for the time.
I'm repowering a 17 ft. Parker with an older Yam. 70. Does anyone have any stories or experiences on what people have been able to get by with? Getting on plane is a must of course. Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

That's a very unique Parker. Seems like it was available as tiller steer or console. You might have to contact Parker for hp requirements. Maybe you could take some pics?

The 18's have 115 power on them from the factory...
I would think that would be a good place to start.
