Power for a New 22 Angler

If I had a 22ft Angler, I'd go with the four-stroke 90 hp Yamaha and save the extra weight for a 32 gal. Kodiak live bait tank and a large cooler full of ice to keep the fish fresh.

At the end of the day, you can pump out the bait tank and head home with cooler full of fish & ice.

I'm running a perfectly pitched prop that peaks out at 6,000 rpm. I usually cruise at 5,500 rpm. The motor purr's at that rpm.

I just upgraded my 1981 classic from a 88hp 2 stroke to a 115 4 stroke and am really happy with it. Nice to have that extra hp if I need it, nice to run at 1/2 throttle and way better fuel economy.
I'd go with the 115.
