Wot size engine would b good 4 my 15ft cabin boat i though ov a 10 hp?

Question:


Answers:

I want to build a boat which over all length is 24 meters and width is about a little over 5 meters.?

I would put a 15hp engine on it. I would go for a Honda (great running engine, very quiet), but if it gets stolen you just lost a ton of money. But if it just a "cabin boat" I would look at an older 2-stroke engine. Try to get an oil-injected enigne so you don't have to mix gas and oil (although it's not that hard to do). Two stroke engines are much louder, but they weigh less. Four-stroke engines are a lot less noisey, but they also weigh more. Four-stroke in my opinion get better performance and are nice because they don't put out blue smoke exhaust. Either way you go, I would seriously consider a Honda or Mercury as four-stroke engines, or an Evinrude/Johnson or Yamaha as two-stroke engines.

15 to 20 hp would be better as 10 hp is a better engine for small boats for fishing

What type/model vehicle would suggest to tow a 17ft Maxum Bowrider w/90 hp outboard,also gets good gas mileag?

How fast do you want to go, and is your boat a planing hull or displacement. If planing, and you wish to take advantage of that, then you will probably need at least 25 to 40 hp. (I have an 80 hp on my 17' hull), which will allow me to operate between 20 and 35 mph. However if you would be satisfied with displacement speeds, 6 to 12 mph then you may be able to use a 9 hp to 15 hp motor. It would all depend upon the use. Many lakes have restrictions to motors of less than 10 hp, and again you will have to decide where and how you plan to use your boat. Obviously a lower horsepower engine will be more fuel efficient, as well as less costly to purchase. Good luck.

what are the advantages and disadvantages of a dugout boat?

Honestly, you need to not worry too much as most all 15 footers can handle any one of the motors that you have heard others talking about. There should be a plate on the inside of your boat somewhere that would tell you what the MAX is. I have a 15 1/2 footer and it can handle a 85hp.
