If you haven't even tried the 9.9, you should do that for sure before looking for one bigger. I had never used a motor that big on my old 14' boat, it was about the same age as the one you were talking about, then I rented one to try it out and with only me in the boat, it almost flipped over, there was so much power. The bow came straight up and I had to throttle down to keep it from flipping. After that, I learned I always had the put some weight up front in the bow, when by myself.
