Zozza 293 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 This may be a little cheeky to post this here when I already have posted details in classified section, but I know there are a bunch of you double and triple hull crew.orgers that visit here and post in this section, that have previously talked about powering your craft with an outboard motor. Scroll down to the classified section and see the deal I have going on a new 9.9hp four stroke with a high thrust prop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freedom GBE 27 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Spec for this four stroke weight is 44kg 9.8 Toahtsu two stroke only weighs 26kg Four strokes are just too heavy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zozza 293 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Yes heavy, but sip much less fuel, and no mucking about working out your oil mixes, and is much less noisy than it's two stroke cousins. As usual in boating, their are always compromises and trade-offs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Too heavy for a gbe but not for a bigger boat where you may need to motor for 12 hours or more and the lower fuel use becomes important Quote Link to post Share on other sites
