[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 456680, member: 13975"] I'm with gillhunter. You need space with that many people plus kids. The extra 2 feet plus having a square bow vs a pointy one equal more usable square feet for people. And a tiller saves a ton of room too. Have you ran both with you only and gotten a baseline that way? I would do that and note results. Then I would go over to the motors section and get some details on how to check out the two motors. It's possible one or both are not running optimally. I'd also guess that both motors have factory props which are almost assuredly too underpitched for those size of boats and with that much of a load. And, depending on the year, that Tohatsu may even be able to be modified to a 15 hp. [/QUOTE]
