[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 406704, member: 13140"] Buy a used 6hp johnson or evinrude. That way you can get your money out of when you want the 9.9 or 15. Nothing is more miserable than being slow and under powered. Just look at all the chatter about weight distribution, planing, top speed, prop pitch and how much it bogs with people and weight. Buy a motor that will push it. A 6hp is for an 8-10'. 9.9hp is 12' 15hp is for 14'. 16 is 25-60hp depending on the boat. At the minimum I'd find a Johnson evinrude 8. It's the same as the light weight six but beefed up. Saw a used one for sale last week at valley marine in Glendale AZ. Gene is fair and may ship it. [/QUOTE]
