I just got a yam380s it rated for a 25hp.
Not sure if to get a Yamaha 25hp or 15hp. What the wight of them, will I manage to lift the 25hp on my own in and out of a discovery. Got launching wheels on boat. What sort of speed will I see there will be just two of us.
I've got a 380 Ali deck SIB and mine goes well 2 up with a 15 hp. Sometimes I wish I'd got a 25hp but every time I lift my OB I'm glad I didn't.
If you were leaving the boat inflated on a trailer then get a 25hp but if assembling every time a 15 is the most I would want to lift.
To give you a rough idea, 2 stroke 15hp weigh about 35kgs, a 25hp about 50kg.
The 25hp 2stroke. Is the yam the lightest in this class? Just cannot make my mind up to get they two on eBay at the minute the 15 or 25.
Thanks
How far will you have to carry it? From where it's stored to car etc.
Also you will want launch wheels on the boat and a trolley for the OB.
Theres a yam 25 on eBay, if your looking at the same one Im talking about check the sellers feedback as the one I saw had a few bad feedback left. I don't know any thing about it or the seller just worth a look.
i think the 4 stroke yam weighs about 80 kg ,so i hope it`s a 2 stroke your looking at ..... a 15 will plane 3 adults .....think about your car too, give your local chandlery a go .... lift various engines to see how you can manage ,,,,i want a 25 but will need to change me boat first ........doh !!
