I have a 1975 C27 whose outboard bit the dust. I'm trying to decide between the Tohatsu 6HP SailPro or 8HP outboard. I'm sure that the 6 would be fine for docking and maneuvering but I'm a little concerned that it wouldn't get the boat to hull speed when motoring for hours in light winds or opposing currents.
People sound like they have liked the one they bought (reviews of both are positive) but I'm not sure which would work better in puget sound and I don't want to load up the transom (which already squats a lot when motoring with my 7.5 two stroke. ...which weighs the same as the 6) without good reason.
Any recommendations on which to choose?
