There is an older 16 sitting on a storage lot with 10" mossy water sitting in. Sad.

Most are avoidable except: *Engine or equipment breakdown. “The biggest reason why we tow people is because of mechanical failure,” says Capt. .. 2018 Cutwater, Volvo Dielse failure at lake powel. 2012? Surger sand, stranded miles from marina on a weekday with no cell service. Was a lake boat...

So, at say 4.5 - 5 mph, do you wish you had a little more? Or are you happy with 9.9. If someone said he budy, I have a 15hp and will trade it for your 9.9 would you?

yes I just saw that today when I was doing more research. I'm getting caught in that more is better mind of thinking. For 14 more pounds you could have up to 20 horsepower. However hull speed is the fastest I'll ever have a kicker push me, and even 50 horse will not get me past hull speed so why...

Thanks for the info

Old thread, but great to know! How fast are those 7ft air floor dingys with 4hp? I'd think of a 6hp as its the same weight and engine.

Thank you.

Good day. What size kicker would be needed to do hull speed in a 26? Hull speed is roughly 7 to 7.7 mph calculated based on LWL of 22-23ft (guessing). I saw a youtube video with a 22 Century Walk around (4,000 lbs) and a 9.9 merc on the back. It did about 5.5 mph. The C-Dory is heavier, say...

Yes, helps.

Thank you for the information on the 20 horsepower. However the engine that I'm talking about are all four strokes. You look at Mercury, tohatsu, Honda.. not hondas, and Yamahas they all weigh about the same for the equivalent horsepower. My 20 horsepower kohatsu weighed 94 lb in a four-stroke...

Will a 6ph get to hull speed? What can you expect for 6hp? Good enough for a backup motor? I used to have a 30ft x 10ft beam, 15,000 lb Cutwater C30. I used a 20hp outboard as a kicker in emergencies and also to put on the back of my dinghy for shore runs (dual purpose win win). It weighed...

Good day. I"m looking into used C-dory 25 to have weekend trips on in Florida. I have a 27' World Cat now, 270 EC, but is too big, heavy 10,000 and sucks fuel badly. I used to have a sweet Cutwater C30, but sold it to buy my house in Florida. The C30 was nice and the Cdory 25 is similar...
