[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 325458, member: 1523"] The difference between most 9.9's and 15's is in the carb. At least the mid '90's Merc I had was. Per your lake restrictions just get the 9.9 sticker for the engine cover and forgedaboutit. For curiosities sake tape the outline of a 14 and 16' hull on your floor and pile you and the family in there with all your toys and think about it. A 14' hull is a great 2 person casting platform. It's tight for 3 adults if you are cat fishing anchored. Throw in a toddler - 10yo who is going to get bored and want a spot to play and you are going to outgrow a 14 foot hull in one season. My Alumacraft MV1448 ended up being a 16'6" x 48" bottom. It's still only a 2 place hull for smallmouth casting but is a great 3 place cat fishing hull. You may also want to consider a cheaper mid '80's glass boat if aluminum isn't available. What's you location? [/QUOTE]
