[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 465590, member: 24227"] 9.9 would be a lot of motor. It's not the horse power that's the issue since you control the throttle. It's the motor's weight that is the issue. Putting an outboard and an operator in the rear of a 9' boat is a lot of weight in the back. I'd look for an older 2 stroke motor since those are generally lighter than the newer 4 stroke motors. In the 80's, when this boat was made, most outboards (maybe all) were 2 stroke. [/QUOTE]
