I know this issue has been discussed many a time but here are my specifics on which I need forums in depth wealth of knowledge.
We have just changed to a Avon 3.1m rib as we can just fit it in the V45 garage by taking the engine off. My Yamaha 8hp with additional fins on won’t quite get me & SHMBO up on the plane so I am looking for that little extra bit of power. I know that 15hp 2 strokes work well as friends have the same set up.
My main worry is weight as I need to take engine on & off each time out of garage so need to keep sensible, what I really want is a 2 stroke 10hp but with 15hp performance, I have heard rumours that some 10hp can be converted to 15, if so can anybody make recommendations of good power to weight 2 stroke outboards. I know I need to act fast due to the demise of 2 strokes.
