[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 217152, member: 4585"] Yes, yes, and yes. Beef up the transom and go for it! A lot of 9.9's are really just 15hp motors with smaller carbs. As long as you dont put a motor thats much heavier than a 9.9 2 stroke (cause thats what it was rated for) you should be fine. Especially if you beef up the transom a little. Maybe a little thicker wood and put 2 knee braces instead of 1? If you go all Aluminum that would be even better. I wouldn't go much more than a 15hp. 20hp at the most! You will be flyin. [/QUOTE]
