It's not a good idea to try to overpower any boat, but I would think especially an Arima. The max HP listed for an Arima is more than enough to get you up on plane very quickly and top speed will be about 35 to 38mph. I've read that more power will not make that type of hull go much faster and will consume huge amounts of gas for very little speed gain. If speed is important for getting out to fishing areas or just playing, than an Arima is not the boat to choose. Frankly, unless the water is very smooth with no wind chop, you can't go much more than 20 or 25 comfortably anyway. How often do we have those kind of conditions around here?
