Will a 15 hp be all that much better than my 9.9 hp?

[QUOTE="Stove Iron, post: 219242, member: 6731"] I'm pretty sure my 1981 Johnson 15HP has the same powerhead as my dad's 1983 Johnson 9.9HP. The main difference being the carburetor size. As a matter of fact, I think there are a few threads on here where people just swapped carbs to upgrade from 9.9HP to 15HP. As for the power difference, there's a noticeable feel of more power and better planing on my 15HP than my dad's 9.9HP. We both have riveted 14' jons, his 36" and mine a 42". [/QUOTE]
