[QUOTE="atuck593, post: 247919, member: 4904"] Mine is officially a 1971 according to the state of PA. That's what my registration says. It depends how much extra weight you add to the boat. With the weight of the frame, floor, and people, the lil 9.5 just couldn't get it on a plane thats why I upgraded to the 18 HP. The max HP for my boat is 20HP so I am really close to that, but the boat flys now. Overall I think the 9.5 was just under powered because I see guys on the lake with modern 9.9HP's moving around pretty well. So I would think that a 9.8 would work great on your boat on your smaller boat. Most of the guys on here have that size motor on their 12 footers. [/QUOTE]
