Yes - you are missing engine weight. My Avon is rated for both max HP and max engine weight. It is rated for 25 HP, but some 25 HP 4 strokes are too heavy. Try and find out what the weight spec is for your boat. How much does the 8 HP weigh?
Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of David via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2019 1:48 PM To: CNC CNC Cc: David Subject: [EXTERNAL] Stus-List Avon and engine... I have a 9' high pressure floor Avon that is in good shap. My 4hp 2cycle died. I have a barely used 4 cycle mercury 8hp that I would like to throw on it to save buying a new boat or motor. Avon spec plate says max HP is 6 hp. I am thinking that as long as I dont hot-rod the dink I should be able to get away with it? Or am I missing something... Thanks in advance. David F. Risch, J. D.
