Default Can I slowplay now, please?

I flop a boat, and decide to slowplay the hand.

Reasons:
1. SB is laggy, and has produced some pretty mindless aggression in previous hands. I want to give him a chance to fire at the pot. The others are unknown quantities.
2. The chance for someone making a second best hand is good. QT, 78 and KQ can make a straight. Turn produces a flush draw.
3. The chance for someone outdrawing me is low. If someone has the last 9 and a Q, K or A they have 3 outs.

What would you do different?

I think it's well done. Giving a free card works for this situation because of the possibility of somebody making a strongish 2nd best hand. I like it.

I think the flop is fine, but I also think that if you raise the turn you are more likely to stack someone on the river.

You could be right.
But it would also be nice if someone hit their draw.
Edit:
If I raise the turn, Im basically saying:
"HELLO WORLD, I HAVE A 9, AND IF YOU ARE ON A DRAW... FOLD!"
Instead I let them hit.
I could be wrong.
But that was what I was thinking.
