I would love to sell you this motor but I don’t think it’s what you really need and it’s probably not going to be economical to ship it anyways. Still...
I have a
Catalina Capri 25, with a Suzuki DT6
outboard on an adjustable bracket. I have had the
boat for six years, and getting to my
current motor was an evolution. Along the way I learned how to partially disassemble and reassemble and
repair and maintain outboards, and I especially like the
2 stroke OMC motors between 5 and 9.9 hp.
Reliability award. What else matters, again? I’m also pumped for
Honda 7.5-10 hp 4 strokes, and have some experience there. Really cool engineering, decades ahead until 2003. Still, a complex system, with many failure points.
I’d be happy to discuss your
propulsion issues, and maybe lend some
advice.
Reading your profile it seems likely you have a big boat that is currently unpowered with a non-working or non-present inboard, probably
diesel.
From what I’ve seen, your best bet is going to be a Yamaha 9.9 hi thrust motor mounted on an adjustable mount on the stern. A
Honda or other
4 stroke might do the job, as well as a 10hp
2 stroke, but not with as much authority.
I’d be happy to follow up with you.
