Well I have a 9 ft rib but a heavy GRP one. I have a 18hp Tohatsu 2st which rarely gets used above 1/2 throttle. But it does need full throttle three up to get it on the plane.
It is worth noting that in the Eastern Carib the Tohatsu 18 hp is cheaper than the 15 hp despite them being essentially the same engine, same weight etc.
I have had a 8 hp that would not plane my old hypalon bottom dink until I fitted Dolphin Fins, they do work!
