[Rhodes22-list] Yamaha 8 hp motor source?

[Mike Cheung]

Bill,

My Admiral and I are also working on outfitting a soon to be recycled Rhodes
(a 1993).  Mind if I ask where you got your 8 hp Yamaha?  I assume it's the
T8ELH.  Best I've found so far is a place just north of Edenton in VA called
Ed's Marine Superstore.  I haven't talked to them yet, but the price they
list on their Web page was pretty good on the T8ELH and not bad on the newer
T9.9ELH which I'm also considering (for the extra power at about the same
weight).

For those with 8 hp motors on their Rhodes .... ever wish you had +1.9 hp
more?  We'll be sailing mostly Ohio inland lakes and Lake Erie with
occasional sojourns further afield.  I'm not at all concerned about using 8
hp on the inland lakes, but Lake Erie can be indistinguishable from the sea
in terms of wind and waves at  times.
