I had a 60 pound, 6 hp yamaha on the transom. With me and my buddy (165 and 175 pounds respectively), tackle and fishing rods, the boat felt balanced and was safe. However, with a 8hp on the transom and your own weight, you might find the back of the boat very low in the water. I would re-consider the 8 or 9.9 hp and stay closer to the max rated hp of the boat.</p></blockquote><p></p>
