    I have a 12 foot 1967 Delhi. My first really good running motor was a ’57 7.5HP Evinrude. It wouldn’t plane me for nothing, I even tried getting a tiller extender and sitting on the middle seat. Got a couple MPH, but definitely wouldn’t get me on plane. Add in another person… no way, no how.
    I found a 10HP and started working on it, but still haven’t finished it. However I found a 15HP Evinrude and that does the job nicely with myself and a passenger. It’s become my "daily driver" whenever I head out.
