Hey coot, you are fine. I think the motor restriction is seven hp or less.

The problem is not so much the motor restriction it is the fact of launching the boat. There is no boat ramp or launch spot. You gotta throw it on your back and haul it down. That limits the majority of boat owners.

I use to go to causey a lot when I had my 12 ft boat and the guys are right, no launch, it is also wakeless speed only. When the water is high, like it is now, it is not a problem. We would launch by the face of the dam or back by causey estates and carry the boat down to the water, with the boat empty, then carry all the stuff down, like the motor, gas, poles and what ever else you are taking. It isn't hard if your boat is empty but it's a hassle when the water in low. I also had a 14 footer the I use to carry down the dam but it was not a deep V, not more than 115 lbs. The scenery is awesome in the back bays and well worth the work to get your boat on the water. It is a little easier to launch by causey estates, try it you'll like it. WH2
PS . Good to have you on the board Poorfisherman.

Hey, Great report poorfisherman it sounds like Causey was a pretty good place to be. It sure made me want to head on up there.
Maybe I'll go this weekend if i don't go out to willard bay. I got a new recipe for catfish soup from a friend at work and I might want to catch some catfish to try that out.
GOOD FISHIN TO YA!
