  • Can I put a 9.8hp motor on a boat designed for a 3.5? Well, I do! The real question is, 'Should I?' It is a stout, iconic boat that I have successfully overpowered in the past but this time I may have found it's limits.

    That was great! Try running it with the engine one or two holes out on the transom mount. It may spray a little less. Also, just sit on a cushion down low and see how fast it goes on glassy water.

      I had to put both ropes in one hand while pushing the throttle up all of the way. The engine was missing the tiller/throttle handle but had a small lever to advance and retard the throttle.
