[Rhodes22-list] outboard advice

Jerry,
	Go to 
www.rhodes22.org 
and email archives.  Go to January and February 2003 and go thru history
and discussion on motors.  Unfortunately, few changed the subject to
motors so you have to look at various subjects to find the discussion on
motors.  But most questions were covered.

With all the outboard talk going on,I'm starting to rethink my decision
to buy a Yamaha HT 8hp four stroke.
Pros (as I see it): smooth running 2 cyl.,  electric start& charging,
at 102 lbs,you'll have to eat your wheaties to be able to steal it.

Cons: At 102 lbs,I can't consume enough  wheaties to mount it,  Yamaha
is real proud of it($2100), could be tough on the motor mount.

I sail on a very protected lake now ,but in the future I would like to
try lake Erie and other bigger lakes.Right now I use a Yamaha 2.5hp
4-st. that I bought for my com-pac 16.It pushes it ok,(I even towed a
dead pontoon boat with the R22)but I can see trouble  going into a mean
head wind.I'm wide open to any and all advise
Jerry Lowe
