No not that big. The boat itself is very small so it may look bigger than a 9.9 on a tiny boat.

BYW, the owner said that the boat originally had a canvas hull, like the old canvas over wood Old Town canoes. He had the hull refinished a few years ago.

Edit: I made the mistake of asking my wife about the Penn Yan after rather than before the above answer. She had looked the boat over and talked to the owner. So I just asked her about the outboard. "It was a 25". Are you sure it was not a 9.9? "Defiantly not a 9.9". So there you have it.
