what size of motor

[schase1]

have a 14ft starcraft, rated for a 25hp. was going to get a motor, either 15hp or 20hp, would it be worth the extra money for a 20hp or better off getting the 15hp??

Thanks in advance

What kind of fishing do you do with it?

How many will be in the boat.

I could get 23 mph out of my 15 hp and 14' Starcraft with my 6 year old daughter in front, but don't expect that with two buddies along.

A 20 will troll down So I would get the largest you can afford. If you ever need it, It's better to have itand not need it then need it and not have it.

I'll second that.

I've got a 14' (granted it's .100 thick, 74" beam, 20" transom and rated for 40 horses) with a 15 horse. A 25 was only $300 more when I bought it, this is one of my few regrets in life.

Going 12 with 2 adults in calm water sucks. Going 9 in water I can cover in my Four Winns at 40 gets old.....

Get the biggest motor you can put on it. When you go smaller and are underpowered youll wish you went bigger. NEVER UNDERPOWER A BOAT!!!
