[QUOTE="pgk, post: 287416, member: 8941"] 2 stroke johnson or yamaha 7-8 for sure. My 2010 8hp yammy idles perfectly for trolling but is also a lot lighter than the 9.9 and can really fly if it needs to. I also have an older 7.5 johnson that goes like stink on a 12' Nalco. I'd never buy a 9.9 again after what I've seen from the newer 8hp motors. Easily 15lb lighter on average and no noticeable loss of power while giving better fuel mileage. The 5 or 6 hp 4 strokes may give slightly better fuel efficiency but I wouldn't want to try and buck a strong headwind or waves in a 14' boat with one. [/QUOTE]
