[QUOTE="LaqueRatt, post: 500833, member: 32586"] That's a pretty cool little motor, but I wonder if you wouldn't be better off with a good trolling motor. I have a 55 lb troller on a 14 footer and it moves along pretty good. Even on a 4 year old battery. I agree a 9.9 would be a good match. You can never have too much power, right? You can run a big motor slow, but a small one pretty much has just one speed, wide open. I'm also not confident that 2.5 will ever put the boat on plane. Which would get old quick. [/QUOTE]
