[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 484484, member: 13975"] A basic pull start 25 hp 2 stroke is about the perfect motor for general use. You can put it on pretty small hulls safely and then you can slap it on a bigger welded 16 footer and still move around ok. They stay in high demand and hold value well too. Weight should be around that 100 lb mark which is good although taking it on and off every time would get old even at that weight. I think a 15hp would work too as long as you stay light and prop it accordingly. It would be much easier to take on and off too as it should be in that 70 lb range. [/QUOTE]
