[Rhodes22-list] Horsepower ?? Engine size ??

[Alan Robertson]

If you have to buck a tide and an opposing wind or swells, a 6.0 is inadequate when you really need the power.

  so my old tohatsu 9.9 is feeling rather ill.   i'm thinking about a  
  new 4 stroke engine.  i'll be off the North Shore of Mass,  
  Manchester/ Gloucester area.  mostly i use the engine to traverse  
  manchester harbor, where I step the mast at the town dock,  then  
  proceed 5 or so miles to my mooring (Magnolia Harbor).

  my 9.9 moved my Bristol 27 (weight 6600 lbs) along smartly.  i THINK  
  a 6.0 or so would be enough engine.

  what do you folks think?

  Gary
