[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 507727, member: 21552"] I'll warn you that the "V" hulled boats aren't going to ride much better if at all then a Jon boat. Few if any have any actual deadrise, most are just as flat at the stern as a Jon boat. The only thing you may benefit from is if you trim down and haver the bow cut through small waves. Any wave 1' or greater, you will take a pounding as will the bow of your boat. As others have said, you can alter a 9.9 to make her a 15 but just changing the carb won't do it, there are other small changes you'll need to make, check with a local marine mechanic. [/QUOTE]
