[Rhodes22-list] Outboard Motor

[daysails at aol.com]

Hi Jim,
I went with the 8hp electric start 20" shaft Tohatsu. Most of my 
sailing is lake sailing with plans for coastal sailing in the near 
future. I thought of this (8hp) as a compromise between 6 and 9.5. I 
have been pleased with it after one year. I bought it on line and had 
it shipped to Stan who mounted it before delivery. Here is the site. 
They were very helpful in the buying process.

Rummy has used them too. Joe Riley

I know how Stan feels about motors, so I'll ask you all.
I am wondering what hp is suitable and what is over kill. Also the 
weight
that the electric lift can handle. I know a long shaft is needed but, 
20"
or 25" and a high thrust prop is helpful...any other pointers. Sof ar I 
am
thinking a 9-10 hp 4 stroke with a 20" shaft. not sure of yhe make.
