Backup engine

[muchy_]

I have an ex-broads hire boat of 30ft. Single diesel engine which has just been rebuilt and is in very good condition. I now want to explore further afield and would like to go down the coast a bit and try some of the harbours etc, but nothing to adventurious just yet. Is it acceptable to put a bracket on the transom for an outboard as an auxiliary engine? The boat is very stable and will cruise at around 6knots. It is equiped with GPS, echo sounder and VHF. Can anyone see any problems with this? I've also passed yachtmasters theory just in case said GPS goes up the swanny.

Well. I,ve had 25 holidays on the Broads and for there purpose the boats are excellent. But for the sea you need a sea boat. Or it will just roll like no tomorow. Have a look out to sea on a calm day and see how you get on. But keep close to Yarmouth or Lowistof. Or what ever. A boat that can do 6 knots on the Broads. Might only manage two, on the sea. Cos theres waves and things. It's not quite the same.
