Hi I've just bought a Dell Quay Dory 13 - I cant find any technical info on it and was wondering what Engine you would recommend?

Drove one a lot years ago - they shift with a 25hp on the back! Your question will soon become "Dell Quay Dory 13 - Cushion recommendations?" /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Have driven one with a 40hp on the back - very exciting, and a trifle scarey.

My obsession with boats started in 1975 with a Dory 11. I had a 25hp Johnson. My friend had a Dory 13 with a 50hp Merc which I think was the maximum recommended. It used to scare me to death. Coincidentally I am looking for an old Dory for my kids to have some fun with (although probably more for me and my sense of nostalgia!)

Ive got a Johnson 50 on mine. My brother in law used to have it before me. When it was new he had a 40 on it, but it wasn't enough for the skiing he wanted to do, so he upped it to a 50hp. I've had her for 4 years now and she goes well, very well.
50HP is the max the boat is rated for I think.

<span style="color:blue"> The Dory 13 is a lovely craft but strictly speaking not for skiing as the weight of the skier causes the arse end to skid as they slalom. However just for a bit of fun its great but they will bang and crash in any kind of a small sea. Ideally the outboard can be 10hp - 40hp. 10 is adequate for river use a 40 giving around 30 knots flat out down hill. A few years back we had to get a fire pump up the river, I had that on plus 4 hefty Firemen, me and my dog. The Firemen were amazed at the carrying capacity</span>

Use one as a tender. Will plane 2 up with 15hp (in flat water).
