[Rhodes22-list] our trip North in Tara (the new powerboat)

[Goodness]

I usually see those 9.9 outboards on down east trawlers like that for fishing.  Just the right speed for downriggers.
Also of course a back up get home motor. (Iron jib)

The amazing thing is that it will move the boat at about 4 knots in calm weather and that you can still steer with the main motor - however, it uses the same fuel supply so that if your problem is bad gas...

>> This would be a bit off topic except that we put almost everything we learned in years of cruising Fretless to use when we brought Tara North. We did learn a lot about about how the new boat handles and because her systems are a bit more complex than the simplicity we enjoyed on the R22, a bit about pumpouts and shorepower systems.
