What boat is it. Most likely you will have to buy and change everything that comes after the motor....the coupling, flex shaft and tube, and the prop shaft and strut, and prop.

Well i'm guessing that you have one of the pro-boats because you have a dynamite 15. If you are to change the most you cna go is an 18 or 21. The 18 would be easier because its like the same size bolting patern as the 15. Now a 21 would need a new mount and drive line to a 3/16 shaft with a new stuffing tube. WHAT TYPE OF BOAT IS THIS!!!!!!! THAT YOU WANT TO DO THIS TOO?

Seriously, I don't think whatever hull comes with a .15 can use half of a .21 race power motor.

So what is that in MPH... 1 knot = 1.2 mph right? so your up there in the 25 mph range right? Not bad. With some new products and properly tuned engine and pipe you could see 30+mph (25 +knots) with that little guy...I'm not advertizing here but cheak out twisted liquid racing....its (A) you hate them or (B) you love them......type of thing.
