[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 252754, member: 7791"] Go with at least a 20hp or you will regret it later. I would get the 25 if I were you. You can never have to much HP. If you can get a better price online then do it but make sure you have a service dealer near you for the motor you purchase. My 9.9 did ok up to about #600 pounds total weight (boat, motor, and me and equipment) with no wind on a smooth lake. I added 150lbs and it turned into a dog. Made the 9.9 into a 15hp and it barely planed. Bought a 25hp this year and turned it into a 30hp and I am as happy as could be. I can push #1100 pounds in my boat without a problem now. [/QUOTE]
