Okay, after about 7 weeks of craigslisting and bulletinboarding, I finally found a boat!
It's a 14' fiberglass tri-hull tiller. It weighs 250lbs and is rated for a 25hp engine, and maximum capacity is 745lbs. We're expecting to be carrying approximately 500lbs of gear and people in the boat.
It will be used on small lakes and rivers, like this:
Tygart Lake, WV
Monongahela River
Tygart River
Question: would I be well-served with a 9.9HP motor, or should I get something larger?
Is there a calculator or something that can help me determine what is the best outboard for my boat?
Thanks for the help!!
