[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 242340, member: 3278"] As far as the Johnson/Evinrude engines go, the 9.9 and the 15 are identical weight. Your 14' boat should be rated around 15hp anyway unless its a featherweight cartopper or something. The issues you describe are easily cured. Would go that route first since you indicated you would repair it anyway. Then run the boat with that engine and see how well you like it. A couple threads away there is a fellow who just started running his 16' aluminum with a 9.9 and has so far been pleased with the performance. [/QUOTE]
