[QUOTE="Jim-Iowa, post: 139664, member: 3209"] Well with the 9.9 on that boat and 3 of us in the boat it was probably going 8- 10mph or so. Bailey probably goes 220, his son 180 and I weigh 175 so we were running at maximum reccomended capacity and doing that speed,[b]impressed me[/b]. He thought he needed more motor to run on the Des Moines River, between Red Rock and Des Moines? I still think the 9.9 would have done it well. Like I said the 9.9 is a 1965 and the Evenrude Speed Twin 15 is a 1972. So a good solid motor is that regardless of it's age. And it's kind of fun to run an antique. If he decides to stick with the 15, I may talk him out of the 9.9. [/QUOTE]
