[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 514580, member: 3438"] Most 15hp’s are “tuned” 10hp motors. A larger carb, different exhaust, ICM etc. They will usually have the same/similar torque for getting on plane, but the 15 will be able to achieve higher rpm’s, ie top speed. A 10hp is usually plenty for a 12’ boat and sounds like that is the max recommended. IMO: A 15 will not be hazardous, but you need to consider the insurance and liability if something goes wrong. I don’t recommend the 15 for that reason. [/QUOTE]
