used bow rider hull for 175 hp outboard

I would like to find a good used bowrider hull to repower with a 175 hp Mercury outboard that I have. What size boat should I be searching for?

My newer 18' Four Winns is rated for 175HP. I have a 150 on it and it seems to be a good combination, although a little more power wouldn't hurt. I also had a 19' Larson that was rated for 175. I had a 150 on that also and it would get up to about 48 mph with a light load.

What shaft length is your motor?

I think that it is a 20" shaft. I can verify tomorrow.
