[QUOTE="V Dog, post: 348490, member: 13885"] I bought a 1954 Johnson Seahorse 10 hp. I tried it last night and got up to 17-18mph on my phone GPS. The boat seems to need at least 12 mph to stay on plane. I'd love to have a lighter motor but I don't think I could downsize hp at all. But this will do for the next 3 months, until I deploy to Korea. Once I get back, I can spend money on a better combo. Maybe a Grizzly 1448 with 25 hp outboard. :D Thanks for all the replies!
