[Rhodes22-list] Outboard recommendations

[Stephen Staum]

My 87 R22 came with a 4 hp Mariner 2 stroke.  When it died, I replaced  
it with a 5 hp Briggs & Stratton 4 stroke.    In 6 seasons of bay &  
some open water sailing (out of Quincy, MA) I have never felt I did  
not have enough power to get through wind & waves.
