Message: <blockquote data-quote="KonradS" data-source="post: 514711" data-attributes="member: 35392"><p>I was in the same dilemma last year looking for  a motor for my old Lowe Line scout.  The scout is a very light, narrow, low 14' flat bottom, also rated for 10hp.  I got a steal on an old '63 Gale 15hp & jumped on it.  I rarely run it wide open as it gets pretty squirrelly and is a bit more of a thrill than I want, unless it is flat calm. When I am with a buddy and all the fishing gear and a full tank of gas, I am at or just over the weight limit for the boat- the motor weighs 77 pounds.  the good news is that I can still scoot right along fully loaded.  So, in the end happy with the setup, and I can cruise with the throttle backed off to a comfortable rpm</p></blockquote><p></p>
