Hi,
I live in NJ and the 2 nearest lakes to me are 9.9hp restricted (lame). Almost everyone I know gets a 20hp and changes the decals to 9.9. I had a 14' Avalon pontoon with a 9.9 merc on it about 9 years ago. I could get about 8mph with that boat. I am looking to get S model 168 SF or the 188 SF3. the difference between the two is 175lbs and 1.5ft longer. My question is do you think I would see any difference between the two? I would like the additional deck space of the 188 but don't want to make an already slow boat that much slower.
Thanks
