"Steve, your "boat" wa

"Steve, your "boat" was really designed as a tender (to get you back and forth from shore to your "big" boat)


I believe it's rated for a max of 15 horses. Moving from an 8 horse to a 9.9 or even a 15 will not change the performance a great deal.

If you are looking for something to whip back and forth accross a lake, then this is not the rig you are after. As stated above, this particular (boat) was built for a somewhat narrow purpose."
