I previously posted on outboard reagrding my 3.5 Yamaha AC Serial Number 642 S 20048<br />Prop is approx 7.5 inch diameter aluminium - but had a suplementary question about the ability of this small engine to do the job with the boat it is attached too, and the ability of the boat to carry 4.<br /><br />Really this is primarily for my own comfort before going out to play in the summer<br /><br />So, no plate on the boat, except the makers name. The boat is 14 foot Skipper ex-sailing dinghy,<br />fibreglass, twin skinned, with bouancy tanks, so it shouldn't sink even when capsized.<br /><br />Beam is 5 foot.<br />Height at bow is 2 foot 6 inches (keel level to deck lne)<br />2 foot at midships<br />and 1 foot 3 inches at transom<br /><br />We will be using it inshore tidal creeks and esturies, never more than quarter mile from land, and no big waves. Carrying up to 4 adults all weighing less than 200 pounds each.<br /><br />thanks
