Motor runs great. I get around 13mph max out of it with myself (300lbs) and all of my mods and gear on the boat. I played around with weight distribution and feel I’ve got it about as good as it’s going to get. I have a coworker that wants to sell me an older (he’s not sure of the year) 9.9 Johnson. I’ve read that the 9.9’s can be upgraded to 15hp with a carburetor swap. Do y’all think that would do well to get me along a little better? Would it plane out my craft? I live on the Harris Chain Of Lakes and would love to be able to plane out and get around the lakes efficiently in my little boat!</p></blockquote><p></p>
