I'd rec taking a look at some similar models in the 19-21ft range with 150-200hp outboards. There are some great deals around if you keep your eyes open. If you tell us what your honest budget is we may be able to make some suggestions for you.

And yes, I would go with as much power as possible. Nothing worse than an unpowered boat, especially when it gets rough. I've always been told you should have at least 75% of the max horsepower the hull is rate for.
