Outboard horsepower planner
Boaters matching a motor to hull weight. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: translate hull feet into an outboard class. Capacity, season, and packed size are the published facts that survive a weekend trip.
This page produces an explainable category or size so options can be compared without a product ranking. The calculator does not rank Yamaha and Mercury. It produces an explainable class so Yamaha F25, Mercury 15 MH, and Yamaha F40 can be compared as examples of that class.
The working method is: Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class. Planning notes are grounded in Weber. This page does not quote a price or rank a brand.

Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class.

Is Yamaha F25 better than Mercury 15 MH?
