I was recently on a pontoon boat with a 9.9 HP motor and it went slow but it did pull it…I just want to know how large of a boat I can buy that a 9.9 HP engine could pull.

I am looking to buy a used boat. I dont want much, basically, I’m just looking to get in the water to do some fishing, and maybe some skiing. I know I want around 20 foot and I want a bowrider, but what sorts of things do I look for? Engine? Outdrive? The only thing I know about boats is that they float. Any advise on buying my first boat would be appreciated.
