[QUOTE="po1, post: 258369, member: 1978"] I'd get the biggest engine that you can afford, that being said the biggest i could afford was a Nissan 18hp fourstroke electric start (at the time they were marked down). This is the same is the size motor of the Tohatsu 20hp (same size/weight). I have no problem with my 18 hp Nissan putting my 1648 Lowe extra deep/wide(wood deck loaded down with two people and gear) on plane quickly. Brought mine in 2008 still runs like a new engine, best purchase I've made for the money yet. If a new 20hp Tohatsu is the best deal for you pick it up. Should put you on plane quickly and easily. Most of the time with a full load of camping gear and two people I run 18-20 mph. [/QUOTE]
