15-footer with 25-HP
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2020 4:25 pm
Is a 25-HP engine enough to power for a 1988 15-footer [of undesignated model] carrying two adults and two grandchildren under 10-years-old?
I do not need to go 35-MPH.
BACKSTORY: I have a 1988 15-footer with a 1988 Mariner 60-HP engine in outstanding shape and never had a problem. But considering the age of the engine, I would like to buy a new engine. I have limited funds and can only afford a 25-HP.
