Good motors, 1100 is probably fair or close to it.

thanks guys... you think it would troll down to 1.2mph on an 18ft walk through windshield roughly 1500lbs? or should i just stick to my 8hp four stroke honda? i do love how quiet my honda is. Am i going to notice that big of difference to the two stroke?

I think the four stroke would run smoother at lower throttle, and be quieter. Why replace it if it's doing the job fine?

well the 15hp would be 17lbs lighter, more horsepower for emergencies, also go to canada once a year and would run it as the main motor on a 14 ft aluminum. I would gain quite a bit of speed but the honda is smoother quieter and trolls real nice. confused

Just went and looked at it. This engine still has a typical water pisser type exit correct? No water was spraying???? Walked away

Very possible a bug crawled up the tell tale hole & died, if so just a small wire poked up it will dislodge most foreign debris.
