Re: Which new engine for repower

The 50 has a very flat torque curve, I can swing an 18" prop on it to take advantage of that. The 38 is a 1500cc engine that gets its horse power at 3600rpm. The 43 shares the same exterior to the 50...

Re: Which new engine for repower

My bet is that it might be a hell of a job installing a sail drive where he already had a shaft drive engine on a glass bed, folding props are pretty easy to come by.
