Will a 15 hp be all that much better than my 9.9 hp?

[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 218755, member: 3438"] Most 9.9's are really de-tuned 15hp. At those speeds, I'd say your boat wasn't planing yet. You need torque to plane, and there is not much diffrence in torque between 9.9 and 15hp of same displacement. If you have already tried a lower pitch prop, I'd waint and go for a 25, or whatever the cg max is. [/QUOTE]
