Nice boat tricky fishing area and a bit busy ? I had a seahog a few years back with a 65 evinrude motor hanging off of its *** but guess you are probably running something well over 100hp to move your boat I had a 10hp yamaha as a back up and that used to struggle in the medway estuary and as you probably know an under powered planing hull is not too much fun when the worst happens nice to know some people think of having an aux motor most people who have angling craft just trust 2 luck and a mobile phone but they are idiots but for some reason they get away with it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I allways used to find running a fairly small piece of plastic in the open sea a bit stressy so I used to carry every piece of safety equipment possible especially fishing out of Folkstone kent on the Varne Bank having first to cross the main shipping lane in the English channel even went as far as getting my carpenter friend make me up a mast thing so I could hang a radar reflector on it so stay safe and have fun tight lines matey !!!!!!!!!!

I thought they usually put a plate on the transom identifying the maximum HP outboard the boat is designed for. Alternatively contact the manufacturer or perhaps there may be an owners club. Otherwise it all comes down to how strong the boat is and what it size OB it can handle and the Resistance (drag through the water) of the boat.

fuel stabilizer is a good idea, just make sure you run it through the the carbs otherwise it does little good in keeping your engine running smoothly. i used a 13 gal. kitchen trash can full of water to run my little 6hp motor in... i cut a hole in the bottom side of the trash can and plugged it with a boat plug ( for draining after use ). you should run the engine at varied rpms... ( it's not specific ) to engage all running parts. I would do this at least every 30 days and it does hurt, if you think about it, to give the bulb a couple of good squeezes once a week or so to keep fresh fuel moving.

heavy tides nothing under 9.9 2 stroke, i would rec. an 8 but with heavy tides then the merc. 9.9 kicker (new design) or a 15 in either 2 or 4 strokes will do the job fine. i can sell you one if you'd like. and ship to you or marina where slipped. ed's marine service inc. 559-436-6700 ask for bill if you need to talk to me. ed is my father that retired 4 years ago. family business with brother and nephew, mom keeps the books. p.s. may need to switch prop pitch.

some times your mount tells you what your maximum weight is . part of your speed is controlled by your hull speed
