[QUOTE="CaseyP, post: 288201, member: 9919"] I currently have a 5hp Briggs on the back of my 14' tracker topper. The motor stays bogged down while running it (I weigh 330) and I don't want to burn the engine up. And by bogged down I mean the boat wont get on plane, and yes the motor is trimmed right. The prop size is 7.8x8. My question is, does anybody think the lower unit would be able to stand the power of a twin cylinder 20hp briggs? I have one that runs on an old lawn mower that needs a deck and transaxle. Or should I just save my money for a 9.9 or 15 mercury? [/QUOTE]
