Is a 25 hp outboard motor enough for a pontoon boat?

Answer by  bon39 (24)

Oh yes it is quite enough power for a pontoon boat. You will not be taking the boat off shore I presume or you would be crazy. Around a lake, river or intracoastal waterway to some extent this engine will be perfect. You can have a lot of fun on a pontoon boat with this 25 hp engine.

Yep, I've seen some as low as 15hp before, but it really depends on purpose. We had a 20hp on a chase boat to supervise kids sailing, we then put a 50hp on the new one, depends on the overall weight and size of the boat, ours was 3m.
