[QUOTE="Clint KY, post: 359520, member: 12651"] I have a Monark 1648 that presently has a Johnson 6HP outboard. The motor runs great and with two full sized adults it will make 8.8 mph. While it is OK I really want something with more power. I live near and fish Kentucky Lake which can get scary when the weather or an idiot comes up. I have been looking for a 15 to 30 HP motor (boat is rated up to 30) and have found little. What I have found is many 9.9s. My question: Will a 9.9HP be that much of an improvement over the 6HP?
