hi, i am looking at a 12ft a chillies rib, i have a 8hp 2 stoke tohatsu that i run on my 10"8 sib, it seems the rib might weigh double as a boat, do you think a 8hp will plane two people for now, i can get it cheap without the 25hp that is on it but i am considering getting the bigger motor too. what do you think of a set up like will it be a big improvement to have a 12 ft rib compared to the 11 ft sib ?i think having the 25 hp mariner 2stroke might allow me to pile in a few friends and get planning speed still.
i wonder if i will be able to life the 25hp off myself and also have launching wheels on the 12 ft rib to drag it up or down beach with tidesor is to heavy
