Yes, you will need a long shaft motor. I have a 9.9hp Mariner on mine but this is not needed. A 7hp should do the trick nicely. You can only get so fast and then cavitation will slow you back down and this is due to the turbulence caused by the shape of the bottom and the wheels. Save you a few bucks and get a 7hp 4 stroke. JMO and hope this helps.
LewisLife should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!" -

I think it def. depends on what you're trying to do. I use a 3hp (old measurements, at prop so a little more) but I use it only to cross water slowly and safely. I don't play in the water with mine. Mine is small enough to have the gas tank on top of motor, no cargo area taken up. For me that's worth the trade off. If you're not hauling tons and want to play in the water or get somewhere today (can't say quickly lol) then I agree, 7hp is my choice too (or thereabouts).Comment
