Avon Rover and My outboard

[Moose]

Will a 2hp outboard push an Avon Rover R280? or do I need a bigger engine.

Yes at displacement speed, especially if 4 stroke like Honda 2hp. We use a 2hp on an Avon Redseal 10' doughnut and it is more than adequate. Same Honda 2hp planes our Tinker 12' Traveller 2 up in calm conditions.

I can get 6knots on a redcrest with my Marinier 2hp

Just about, but I went up to a 4HP for my R280 and it's a lot better.
