I'm looking at used Livingston Catamarans in the 15-16' range and came across a couple with an older 2 stroke 90hp motor (usually nissans, tohatsu etc). I was surprised that such a small boat had that sized engine and read that it is recommended that you use a 60-110 hp engine! My buddy has a 17' twin vee cat and only uses a 60 hp engine.
With the Livingston hull weight at about 1000lbs, does anyone know what kind of mpg the motor might get on the boat with that size motor?
I'm fairly nervous about getting any 2 stroke motor at all as I've only had 4 stroke Hondas and Yamahas. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!
