I have a Lowe 1440M and am looking for an appropriately sized motor, it must be less than 10 hp because of lake power restrictions.
Would a 8 hp Yamaha 4 stroke plane my 1440m with two people on board?

Thanks

Probably not if those 2 people are 300+ lbs
But probably if small light weight people

Trying to decide what motor to get for that lake I would go for the 9.9 HP to keep below the 10 listed restriction.
Then you could modify( maybe) to a 15

Maybe they are trying to keep people from running fast in that lake, so all you get is to putt around
