We use the Honda 2 on Endelig and so far it has always done its job
with throttle to spare.

For a short while when my 4 HP Sail Master wasn't working, I used a

back
into my slip in 20 knot plus headwind with a weak battery that
eventually
gave out. When the wind is blowing, you can always sail, but I'm
not good
enough to short tack up 100 yards+ in the 50 feet or so between
marina and
shore....then beam reach 50 yards, luff up and some somehow hit a
tight slip
downwind....at least not single handed.....without doing some
damage to boat
or dock.

Nice, huh?
One day I'd like to try a 2 hp on Busca, just to see how good/bad it
would be. Sure would be nice to lug 27# to and from the bed of
the p/u
instead of 68# (or however much the 5 hp weighs).
