Eric:
The Nissan 4 stroke 5hp comes with the fuel pump and external fuel pump
attachment for $995 while the 2 stroke 5 hp with fuel pump is $1099. I wish
the 4 stroke weighted as much as the 2 stroke. . I'd hate to pay $100 bucks
more as my limit is 1060 with tax. The E/J is only 800.00 or 848.00 with
tax. But it is not a Yacthtwin.
Stern weight on the lil 13' Sovereign Island Express sailbot is not a problem
as it is rated to carry up to 15hp. The problem is my carrying it and
placing it on side of boat instead of centerline. I think I am going to rig
the motor mount so it holds motor directly behind the rudder. I need about
12' clearance from stern to motor mount.
Thanks for reply.
I am replying through group only as I am sure you don't need two messages the
same.
Best
