A 3.5 isn't a big enough jump to plane it so won't go much faster. Over its nearly 60 year history it's run with a 4, 5 and two 25s (a 50s Johnson and a 90s Merc.)  The 5 would partially plane. The 25s would hit 30+mph and felt dangerous. I was fine buying a 9.8 for it. I went with it because it was 15lbs lighter than the 9.9 and it's hard to do anything to counteract that weight on the transom.</p></blockquote><p></p>
