[Rhodes22-list] Sailing Long Island Sound

[Richard Smith]

I sailed Long Island Sound for years in a 19 and later a 25 foot boat.  The
largest motor I had was a 6.5 hp, 2 stroke.  I never ran the 6.5 at full
throttle.

Get the 6 horsepower...

As for electricity;

You do not need the electric start.  An alternator is nice and coupled with
a solar charger will keep your batteries toped off.  Just avoid electric
cabin lights.  Stick with kerosene illumination.
