Awesome!! ๐
From 1.2 hp to 2.2 hp that’s quite a jump! ๐
Yoav
Nice! It looks like the sweet spot for motorizing this yak is between 2-3 hp.
Pete
Yes, and this is the power range that we recommend.
We test more powerful configurations to see if there’s a potential for more beyond the horizon ๐
Yoav
Moving up in horsepower, eh? ๐ Power to you Rox!
Marco
Sorry, Rox, I’m not going to be betting on you in a race with Yoav and One-Shot.
Don’t be so sure, Gary – If you think about it in logical terms, I have a pretty good chance of capsizing, and Kenny has a good chance of running into some new technical difficulty ๐
This leaves Rox with the best chance of winning such a race, IMO.
Yoav
I agree with Yoav! The lighter weight and harder low-end “punch” of most two-strokes actually give Rox an incredible advantage over me, and any other 4-stroke outboards in this class. Rox truly has as “sleeper”! Way to go Rox! Whoo HOOO!!!
Thanks everyone.
I found that mercury at a fishing tag sale here in Ct.
Can’t go wrong for $125.
I still have my gamefishers for back up if needed.
Plus I can see it now, the race begins, I’m off like a shot and then it happens…
I have to stop because I just couldn’t resist fishing a downed tree in the water. LOL!
Tight Lines and MoPaddle Safe all.
Rox
Just $125 for an outboard motor?? (I mean one that actually works)…
Only in America! ๐
