Hi
I have a Wetline/Waterline AR310 inflatable with inflatable keel/floor.
Transom plate says max motor weight 50kg max power 10hp
Currently I am using a 4hp which isn't strong enough to get it past 5mph at WOT. (lifts the nose real high when im in it on my own, doesn't seem to have enough power to lift the stern out of the hole)
Would there be much difference between a 8hp and 10hp in speed? Also, would there be much difference if I was to go to 4 stroke? (I know 2 strokes are lighter)
Usually there would just be two of us and some fishing stuff in the boat, approx max 400lb of people and stuff.
Great forums here btw
Cheers
Pete
