[QUOTE="Topgun, post: 203596, member: 4456"] Thanks, I also like the 20HP. I use my 8HP most of the time due to several area lakes having a 5 MPH limit, but the 20HP is fun. Hits about 22 MPH with 2 people and gear. I haven't emptied the boat and ran it wide open solo yet. Keeping the center bench in and taking the foam out was a great choice for this boat, plenty of storage and room for passengers.[/quote] I think overall I'll be just fine with my 9.5hp setup. Most of the lakes that allow larger motors end up with lots of pleasure-boats that make giant wakes. I'm not sure my shallow 14-footer has any business out there anyway. Some day I'll have another boat for those kind of waters. :lol: Forgive me if it's in this thread somewhere, but did you add back any flotation after gutting the benches? [/QUOTE]
