[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 372540, member: 3278"] Nice thing about having a longer boat with the lower horsepower is that you have, in essence, more planing surface. The boat may not be as fast at wot but it will carry your load better and you can distribute that load more effectively. The 8hp engines were no slouch in the power dept. so you should like what you get out of the package. Would a 15hp do better? You bet, but you have the 8hp and it will do just fine. [/QUOTE]
