In the near future I shall need to upgrade my dinghy. I plan to buy a small RIB - about 11 feet or a bit less. I need it to plane e with 4 average size adults on board. Ideally I like to put a 15HP 2-stroke on the back, but this is not going to be possible these days.

Four-strokes are quite a bit heavier so the question is does anyone have experience with a 4 stroke that would do this job? My thoughts are that a 10HP would be a bit too small but a 15HP might be a bit too heavy.
