[QUOTE="Bottombouncer, post: 344012, member: 12744"] I'm debating on whether or not to replace my '04 Johnson 3.5hp 2-stroke with a new 6hp Mercury. I like the convenience of not mixing gas and I'm sure a little smoother operation. In my 14' I get around 5.5mph according to the gps. That's with me only and fishing gear, anchor, extra gas, etc. Any insight into this would be great. My motor fires right up. It just seems under powered and a bit too loud. I don't want to step up to a 9.9 because I don't want to lose space with the external tank and added motor weight. [/QUOTE]
