I’ll have to agree with go biggest or smallest opinion. Personally, I have an 8’ inflatable and use a Honda 2hp that is perfect for my needs. For long trips, I would prefer a bigger engine but the little suits my usage very well. A note on Honda’s, the carb is much more sensitive to trash in the fuel than other brands and can be a pain in the butt. After several cleanings and rebuilds, I finally replaced the carb on mine and it has run perfectly for the past 1 1/2 years. There’s something about the design of the honda carbs that seems to make them impossible to successfully clean or rebuild. YMMV, but I’m not a big fan of their products.

I have recently bought an 8ft inflatable as tender and am looking at second hand outboard options. Can you advise me of adequate size required? Specifically I have seen a 2,2 hp advertised. Will that be enough to potter to the dock and back? The safety sticker on the boat says up to 5hp but that seeems a bit much and heavy.
