MOTOR SIZE
Howdy-I love it when I can share my opinion....I'm on a 9.2 A with an inboard 15 hsp diesel (wishing it was a twenty), and we JUST came from a twentyfive foot hunter. There was a 6 hsp kicker on her and it really worked well, but there many times I wish I had a little more horsepower just to push thru those bigger waves. Honestly a late model 9.9 would serve you very well. Try to get one with a small built-in altenator. It'll keep your batteries juiced, And make sure you get the LONG SHAFT! Watch Craig'sList.Com for a good deal. Cheers,Tom
