Is a wilsonflyer 17 a good part-time lobster pot boat ?

I am thinking about a small outboard to keep it really econimical.. any ideas? I am thinking about a 20 or 25 4 stroke , and limiting the speed to about 7 knts?

What will you use the boat for??????

I would rather run a bigger engine at low revs than a small engine at high revs. A clinker built hull would be more suitable for such work.

Hi, Lobster potting , now and again..

[jacko69]

wilson flyers are very stable sea boats but if you was going to use it comercially it would be too small and i would still consider an engine around 40hp
