[QUOTE="Whoopbass, post: 130645, member: 2243"] 25hp will get you in the 24-25 mph range depending on your load. 35 hp will prolly get you in the 28-30 mph range. I had a 25hp on a 12' boat and then upgraded to a 15' boat and I didn't loose any low end or top end speed so just because your boat is a 16 footer its probably not going to be any slower then the 14' model with the same 25hp outboard. A 16' boat is more stable which is good since you guys aren't petite. If you guys aren't finished growing then you might want to get a 35hp since they have more low end torque to get you up and moving. 2 or 4 stroke it really doesn't matter. If it were me I would find an 80's something 35hp JohnnyRude and be done with it. [/QUOTE]
