How fast is fast enough, Merc? The majority of boaters I've talked to can't have enough speed.<br /><br />We would have to know more about your boat: shape, weight, and more about how fast you want to go.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

It will plane, if that's what you mean.<br />Probably about 20 or so.

I RUN A 9.8 MERC ON A 13 FOOT GREGOR AND IT FLYS WITH ME ONLY IN THE BOAT, YOU SAID YOU HAVE A FIBERGLASS BOAT, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A LITTLE HEAVIER THAN MINE WHICH I BELIEVE IS AROUND 200LBS.
