Re: is motor big enough?
I seriously doubt you have enough power to run at 60 knots.
If a slower 25-35 k boat is what you need you should be happy with a single 200hp

Re: is motor big enough?
General rule of thumb is you want to be between 75% - 100% of the rated horsepower of the hull... Each hull has a placard on it that tells you the max horsepower rating.
I would think 200 horsepower would be plenty for a 22 McKee

Re: is motor big enough?
It'll run fast enough with the 200 HP , maybe not a speed demon but often sea conditions dictate how fast u can run anyway ! Probably cruise low 20 Knt range!
The pluses for bigger OB is u can cruise faster @ lower RPM's but overall no issue with 200 HP that boat weight is not the only factor but hull design plays a role . Test run the boat if possible this will give u a real feel for how it handles !
