As stated previously, I think a 5-7 hp would be sufficient; weight is a concern only because it is a smaller boat, but also because I hunt a managed waterfowl area with dikes that need to be pulled over some times.


For weight go 2 stroke. There are plenty of good used motors out there. Again, I like the Tohatsu for price, weight, and durability.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
--Winston Churchill
