I have a 3.5 hp, 30 pound Tohatsu outboard which makes my portabote get
up on plane quite easily.

not thrills. Being several decades past my twenties, I find 27 lbs a
very attractive feature that drove my choice. I have not yet made the
mistake of trying it in heavy seas or winds but I'm sure that will
happen, and I will still be better off than previously (I've been
rowing.....).

You will like lightweight and the little Suzuki 2.5 hp is the
lightest on the market I think and it will easily do the trick

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
