Quick question...
I found a used 9hp Briggs go-devil for $750. Will that be enough for my 14' 42" jon boat? not looking for speed, just getting there.

TIA

I had a 9.5hp outboard on my 14 foot jon and it would push in in the high teens with just me in it. A buddies 7.5hp outboard pushed it 13 with me and him in it. FWIW

I had a 14x36 one with a 5 on it. It was a long tail though, and I didn't take it in mud that often, just submerged logs and stuff. It would run maybe 10 if I had to guess with me and a buddy.

Been looking for a >10hp Vanguard or similar on CL lately though. I'd imagine it would run 15-20

I say no. Have a 23hp on a 15x42 = to about 18 mph loaded.
