I am looking at buying a dinghy. The cadet 250 is what I think will suit my needs best. Now I need to pick out a motor. Recommended motor is a 6hp but it says maximum you can use is 8hp. The dinghy is 8 feet, I just want to make sure that I have enough power to get up on plane and cruise at a pretty good pace. Will the 6hp be good for that, or will the 8hp be what I need to really get me going? I don't have much experience with outboard motors so I don't really know what would be the best option for me.
