    Outboard HP on WWP 19

    I currently have the Tohatsu 5hp outboard on my Potter 19. Maxes out at about 5-6 knots. Do you think I upgrade to a Merc 9.9hp (same physical weight as my Tohatsu 5HP) and get a few more knots out of her? Fighting the current around the Puget Sound will become a problem at some point...

    Maximum motor size for Mac 26S

    Does anyone happen to know what the maximum outboard motor size is for a Macgregor 26S? It currently has a 2 stroke 9.9hp. Wanting to up it to 4 stroke 15hp for additional power and quietness. Any help is appreciated.

    O'Day 20 Outboard Motor Recommendation

    We recently purchased a 1974 O'Day 20 and we're in the process of refurbishing. What size outboard motor would you recommend? We will primarily sail on moderately sized lakes, i.e. Lake Monroe, IN; Kentucky Lake; Lake Carlyle, IL; and eventually Lake Michigan. Thanks!

    Correct Outboard HP

    I know that the outboard rule of thumb is 1 HP per 500 lbs, but is that based on the "displacement lbs?" Just want to make sure before my purchase.
