Hi Kevin -
We have a 1975 C27 and are using a Yamaha 4-stroke 9.9 HP. We
have been told not to use anything with less power and our experience
backs that up - we can get 5.5 knots with this motor and it's nice and
quiet, as well as being fuel-efficient. Don't know enough about
electric motors but they no doubt are the future motive power - the
question is, do they have enough muscle (in their present state of
development) to do the job of pushing 6500 pounds through the water?

What outboard motor is everyone using? Would a 6hp be enough?
Finally, I am considering the Torqeedo Cruise 2.0L electric long
shaft outboard. Any thoughts/opinions/facts?
