[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 153990, member: 1417"] I think you'll find that a 9.8 and a 25hp won't be from the same basic motor. It' usually more like a 9.8 and a 15 use the same basic motor. It's generally not displacement but the carburetion and some other details that make the difference. There are plenty of guys here who can weigh in on this. There is also the legal thing but I suppose a 15hp with a 9.8 cowl on it is hard to tell unless you know what you're looking for. As far as the boat, I would thing a 1436 or 1442 would move along fine with your 15hp motor. Some of the 12 footers have a 2 person limit and I think you'll fine that a 14 would be a better bet for what you have described. Even though you're going to buy used, go on line and see the manufacturer's specs as far as no. of passengers and total weight. That'll help you decide what to look for. If it were me I'd go for a mod v jon boat. [/QUOTE]
