I just bought a 25 foot C&C 25 in the fall and after having the honda 9.9 outboard serviced over the winter, found out that the motor is fit for the junkyard. I am now in the hunt for a new outboard but am at a loss as to what to get.
I would like to keep it cheap so a second hand motor is more in my price range, but I could buy new.
When I go into the outboard dealerships different salesmen will tell me I need a 5,6,8 and 10 horsepower engine. I am sailing off the coast of Nova Scotia so currents and tides are important to think about.
Can I get away with a 6 hp engine?
Any help with this would be a great help.
Thanks
