Hi, I have a Lister Blackstone SL2M 8.5hp @ 1800rpm, 2 to 1 gearbox turning a 16 in. three bladed propeller. I also have a displacement hull that, with engine and all other equipment would weight about 5000 lbs. with a 26ft water line length. I would like to get opinions on how others may think this will work out. The intended use would be canals and occasional lake and coastal use fishing and cruising. I love the engine and it's in excellent shape so I'd like to get some use out of it. Thanks.
