I aquired a 24 ft. Bahama Islander and have been readying him for the water-this spring. But I am wondering how he will handle. He has been on a cradle since I got him. I also wonder if the 9 hp Mercury Outboard is enough/too much.I'm quite excited about getting him wet and wonder what I'm in for. I recently joined a Yacht Club to give him a good home on the water.Thanks
