13' question

It has some great fishing and I have a small 10' alum boat for that but it is very unstable. Was thinking about get rid of the 10' alum boat and get an 11' or 13', but can only use a 9.9 or smaller.

I'm sure the wife would agree with you Joe. By chance Joe, are you a marriage counselor? Kevin 1988 11' Super Sport, 1987 Johnson 15hp.

I bought mine with a 40, replaced it with a 9.9, and now has a 25 on it. With the 9.9 it would plane with myslef (225) and my golden retriever, no problem... It lived without the drain plug too!
