[QUOTE="po1, post: 154990, member: 1978"] I started off with a 5.5 johnson(still a great little motor) on a 12' jon it would push me around but wouldn't hit a plane or win any races. You'll be able to hit a plane and move nicely with a 10hp (my evinrude 9.9 will plane my 16' jon). If you're rated to 20hp keep your eyes open for 10hp, 15hp, 18hp, or even a 20hp. This will open up your chances on getting a good deal. [/QUOTE]
