[QUOTE="maddog, post: 251850, member: 8022"] ordered a 20 HP short shaft manual start Honda today. should be here in a week to 10 days. Was going back and forth whether I should pull the trigger on this or not. I could get a new, bigger boat with a new 25hp on it for a similar monthly payment (more years on the loan though of course). I decided that would require a newer truck (and truck payment) since my car can't tow a larger boat. Even if I am in a situation to afford a new and bigger boat (and truck) in a few years I can still use the 20HP as a kicker motor or something. I think I am going to like this setup. Won't work for Erie but most inland lakes and rivers should be just fine with this rig (14'X52" Alumacraft v-hull). I am hoping 20HP isn't too much but the calculations on this website show 20HP is max on my boat, and the weight for a 15 and 20 honda are the same. Both are a ~350cc motor. [/QUOTE]
