Hello all;
My 14' Sea King is rated (according to the tag on the transom) for a 15 hp outboard. However, I have a potential opportunity to land either a 18 or 20 hp Evinrude (older model-don't know the year yet) DIRT CHEAP. How much difference is that extra 3-5 hp going to make in safety & performance output? The transom is in great shape btw-should I reinforce it IF I decide to go this route?
Thanks
