I have a 2013 Hunter 22. I has 4 hp Yamaha outboard.
It moves the boat along fairly well but I am wondering if a larger outboard would make much difference in speed. The max hp for this boat is listed as 10 hp.
Would a bigger engine just be limited by hull speed and hence not be much faster?
Its hard to experiment with this - I can't buy an bigger outboard just to test.
Anybody have experience with an outboard in the 8 to 9 hp range ?
THANKS !
