[QUOTE="riverbud55, post: 408115, member: 873"] I would get the 20 w/electric start and power lift if ya can afford it, fish n shallow water and do a lot of stops and starts you would appreciate both before long,,,, have 1548 G3 vbw, its footprint not much different then yours, with a 25 etec make about 28mph with me at 260lbs and gear in the boat, when I 1st got the boat ran a 6hp Tohatsu and was able to 6 and 7 mph, my boat planes out at about 15mph,, youll never make it with 9.9 and dont think 15 would get you up on step with any load,,, was thinking about the 20hp Tohatsu when I bought mine but I wanted a true power trim and the 25 etec was about the only thing that came with it, all ill say I have no regrets on the etec [/QUOTE]
