Thats the dilemma when there are only a couple lakes that allow over 9.9hp (Hopatcong & Budd?) Unless you go out of state or to the briny, you'll never use the 60hp. Then you'll get bored with crabs and weakfish & start venturing out the inlet. Happened to me with my Sylvan. Ended up buying the V20!
Now I paddle a canoe in the fresh water.

Guess what I'm trying to say is you have a lake boat in lakes that can't use 60hp. If you want to enjoy the mountains and the quiet 9.9hp lakes(it IS NICE to be on a lake with only 9.9) then don't fret over losing the 60 hp.

Although I have seen a boat on Round Valley with three 9.9s!
