Will a 9.9 hp outboard be sufficient to safely power a Hunter 27 through currents in Gulf Intracoastal Waterway between Galveston, TX and Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans? thank you.

All of the time ? under all conditions?

With no regard for planning to sail with the tides? NO!! With prudent planning and a modest amount of consideration for the current conditions, YES!

It would be just adaquate...

A 15hp, long shaft would be better.
