My idea behind the 15 was getting stranded in ocean water in bad conditions. The 15 is just enough to get going headway speed in those conditions.
I used a 7.5 last year but that motor really struggled with the 17 whaler in calm waters. Prop was just too small. I have a 5 pitch on this 15 and dont bring it past 3/4 throttle and it doesnt seem to lug. Anything above thay t is a waste of a good engine.
