[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 475275, member: 15636"] I think up to a 10hp would do it, but would go 2-stroke, as every 4-S I've ever run @ 15hp and under is an absolute dog on performance ... We have a Honda 9.9hp 4-S where the Evinrude 8hp 2-S kicks its azz on an identical Carolina skiff hull. Same where the 10hp Johnson 2-S out-performs the same skiff with a Yamaha 15hp 4-S on it, where the Yummie is one HEAVY and slow dog. FWIW we have a fleet of skiffs at my boatclub, so we get to try everything and have races every Summer. Now I get the low noise and no smoke and am well aware that some places want 4-stroke motors, but gawd they really s#ck in performance! [/QUOTE]
