If you are buying a uesed motor, you might have to do a gear change if it was set up for a different boat, but it should run fine on a boat that size.

Thanks for the opinions. Hope it carries a load good. Also it is the marine engine, the rev limiter is set at 4300 right?

Procrastination is a lot like masturbation. Sure it sounds great at the time but, in the end your only f--k--g yourself.
