Pretty hard to beat the Lund for an all purpose boat.  Bass, Walleye, Salmon, or anything else.  I have an 18 footer with a 150 and it works great for everything.  A 115hp on it would be plenty enough also.

Two or Four?  The new HPDI two's are nice and the actual useable HP is much better on a 2 for what it is rated.  A 2 150 will run circles around a 4 150.  4's much better fuel mileage but more money.  I would go up to a 150 if it will fit or as big as it will take up to a 150.  As soon as you go over 150 the fuel consumption is much more noticeable.  A 135 is a good option on a 19, and should push it around 38-40 with gear and two people.  A 115 will push it about 33 with a stainless prop and two less with aluminum.  Add 4-5 mph with a 2 of over a 4 with same hp.  A 150 will push it 50.  As long as you can cruise at best fuel mileage around 35 you are in the right HP range for max speed/power fuel use.  Either a Honda, Yamaha, or Merc are all excellent.
