[C320-list] outboards

[Richard Grunt]

I have a 2003 Honda 4 stroke 2 horse - air cooled, very light, self
contained fuel tank, adequate for getting ashore. About 5 hours total. I've
given up on dragging a dinghy that we never use, so I don't need it, but it
works great. Its for sale, contact me off line if interested. Asking
$500.00.

Last year I purchased a Johnson 8hp - 2 stroke. It's the lightest 8hp on
the market. I can lift it off the stern rail and lower it down to the
dinghy without too much help. It makes our new inflatable zip along at
18kts with one person, and around 14-15kts with my wife and I on board.

We can explore further a field when we are anchored, and get to the
better crab and prawn areas more quickly.

The 2 stroke is a little smoky, but you can't beat the power to weight
ratio.

There was a PS  4 stroke outboard comparison in 2005. I believe they
picked 
the 5 hp suzuki as their favorite, Darrell
