Mike I have a Zodiac around 8.5 ft and it is rated up to 8 hp. Got a Yamaha 2.5 from SG Power in Victoria and it pushes it along well (doesn’t plane though). My reasoning was I wanted an engine I could easily lift on and off – the 2.5 weighs about 40# so is easy enough to manage. Yamaha is a good product, starts easily, not used a lot but no problem over 5 years usage. New cost is around $1000. Cheers
From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Michael Jones via CnC-List Sent: Monday, October 26, 2015 9:32 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Michael Jones Subject: Stus-List outboard size Ls and Gs Can you help me? I have recently bought an 8ft inflatable as tender and am looking at second hand outboard options. Can you advise me of adequate size required? Specifically I have seen a 2,2 hp advertised. Will that be enough to potter to the dock and back? The safety sticker on the boat says up to 5hp but that seeems a bit much and heavy. Thanks and regards Mike Jones Seanachai, 1981 C&C 34 Victoria
