Well I've been looking into this some and here is what I've come up with.
Port side is definately the way to go. For the simple fact that the boat will be more balanced and actually may even out the slight list that the boat has with me at the console.
A 8hp 2 stroke weighs about 74-77lbs, and the 4 stroke weighs in at 84lbs. So the two stroke will be the same or even more by the time I add a tank w/fuel.
I think I might go with a 6hp 4stroke. I don't like that they aren't made by Merc, but they come with a warranty from them. They are listed as only weighing 55lbs, and I can simply hook it to the main tank.
Single cylinder is supposed to not be as smooth but I think I can live with it alright.
The boat only has a 50hp engine and is rated for a 75. 85" beam and 16'4" long. Six horse should be plenty right? | |
