[QUOTE="sonny.barile, post: 421942, member: 18154"] I had a 13 ft. Duranautic which is similar. It weighed about 160 lbs (boat alone) . With a 15hp Yamaha 4-stroke I was getting about 29mph with just me in the boat. With 2 aboard I got about 24/25. The boat had a 50 lb battery and 15 lb trolling motor aboard also. A 15 is going to get you up to a reasonable speed. I think the 25 is overkill. That boat was designed before the 4 strokes came about. 4-strokes are heavier than older 2 strokes. IF you are going t the max motor rating it should be an older 2 stroke. If going 4 stroke go a size smaller. I am in Jersey........... [/QUOTE]
