[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 379273, member: 13702"] Any increase in power in these motors is worth it. Don't settle for the 9.9 over the 15 or even the 15 over the 18 if you can afford to be patient or expand your search area. The only reason I'd ever go with a smaller motor is to meet the restrictions of a particular body of water if I really wanted to fish it regularly. Hell, even then I'd be looking for a series motor (18hp, 20hp, 25hp mercury's for example) where a little modification under the cowl will net you a more powerful setup while still keeping the appearances of a compliant setup.
