Hi, I'm late in the game but FYI the GF14 does plane with a 9.9, I reach 32 km/h (over 20 mph) alone (with trolling motor, big gel battery and too much fishing gear...) and it's still planing well with 2 adults. Did a tour recently at 4 adults, there it would slow down to about 20km/h+, that's the limit apparently.

Good luck with your build.
Built C17 (app.php/gallery/album/262), GF14, Devlin Bella 16. Sails a 30ft Biloup 89 sailboat.
