  1. What size motor do you recommend?  A sticker on the boat says it's

rated

at 15hp.  We will usually have two adults and two children on board.

I had one with a 15 Evinrude on it!  Worked great! But I am a soft bottom
inflatable fan so I opted to keep my 12 1/2' Archilles w/25 Yamaha. Works
for me!

  1. What shaft length is appropriate for this boat --

Short! If you can find a friend to borrow a motor from, It'll help with the
decision.
