I was wondering what size outboard motor to use on my 14' harbercraft aluminum boat?

The boat wakes do some funky things there and I found myself skipping slideways a couple times. Very similar feeling to my last crash only not quite as bad and i could see it coming. More cav plate cured that and we were killing them in the turns. It was very fun and exciting to get back into that groove again. I hope this is the way of the future.
