[QUOTE="Bigkat650, post: 269568, member: 7270"] I think it depends on what you are looking to do. If you are looking just to get to your fishing spots, it will do fine--but your not going to tow any skiers with it. It might get you on plane, it might only get one plane with 1 person in it. If it did get on plane with 3 people, it would no doubt need to be at or close to WOT. That is why I would go with a slightly larger motor, so you can keep an ideal cruising speed without needing to run the motor all out. Then again, if you just are looking to get to and from your fishing spot--a 15hp will be just fine. [/QUOTE]
