So I'm looking to replace the 90 hp my 22 angler. I want to get something a little bigger. Anyone know how a 125hp on this boat works?[/list]

I couldn’t be more pleased with my repower from 80 hp twin Honda 40’s to 120 hp with twin Honda 60’s on CD22. Link to repower thread.

Who makes a 125 hp outboard motor? How much does it weight? Has the boat every been in a freeze thaw cycle environment?

Usually the 115 hp is plenty of motor. Once you get over 30 mph the boats begin to be a little squirrelly. The larger motors are usually used when the boats are heavily loaded--such as Jay's will be for a long Alaska trip.

I would be concerned about the transom in a 1988 boat. I have seen a broken transom with a larger motor, even in a newer boat. The boats at the time were rated for a 70 to 75 hp 2 stroke. Although there has been no substantial design change, be sure that there is no moisture in the transom. I would use a moisture meter, sound out the transom, especially when the 90 hp is off the boat--and you can check the mounting holes for potential water intrusion.

The manufacturers plate on my 22' Angler says 115hp is the limit. I have a 115 yamaha and its scary fast. I wouldn't go over 115. Pay attention to the weight of a new engine.
