[Rhodes22-list] Optimum Motor for R22?

Dear R22 Members:

I’m throwing this question out to the group. In your experience, what is
the best motor for the Rhodes? I currently have a Tohatsu Sailpro 6 hp
pull-start. But it always seems a bit underpowered and vibrates a good bit.
I’m toying with the idea of getting  a 9.9 two cylinder which I believe
will be a lot smoother. Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions? Will the added
weight be a factor? Honda vs. Mercury?

Thanks for your help.
