[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 267361, member: 7791"] I was just curious because I did a flooring and carpet mod to my 2001 14' Lowe deep V-hull that looks similar to yours. I had a 87' 9.9 johny that was in mint condition (been in the family since day one and had very little hours on it) and after my mod I could not get the boat to plane at all no matter what. I turned it into a 15hp by putting a 15hp carb and exhaust tube on it which then planed my boat at about 16-17 with all my gear and my 5yr old. Still would not plane with the wife and 3yr old with us though, 7-9mph. But this year winter I bought an 88' 25hp johny and tweaked it with a carb and intake mod to put out 30hp or so and now I can run 30mph plus with just my son and I and can run 27-28mph with the whole family in it (1,100lbs total) :D Still got my 9.9-15hp and it is a great little motor.....
