Re: Boat dilemma
In Devon if a tender (small boat) breaks loose and drifts down the river or is found drifting it is put up on the beach and the word put out about it. If no one claims it after a month or two then it's yours. Not sure how legal this is but that's the way the locals do it in a certain town in Devon.

That way you can lend it to mates and neighbours without worrying that they'll ruin your shiny new 50HP yamaha, and even if they do leave it on a public mooring nobody will think about stealing it. Just my thoughts, Keith. |

Re: Boat dilemma
20 hp outboard would move that small boat around easily, any bigger and it will probably be too heavy.

Re: Boat dilemma
All boats have a spec and based on that you have a maximum hp of outboard you can put on them.
Speak to the manufacturer and they should advise best! If you put a bigger engine the "mirror" as it is called will break off the boat and you will be with the fishes......or crocs in your case maybe
