Re: M_Boats: Honda 2 HP for M17?

I think the 2 hp would be ok in areas with little or no current and certainly to get away from the dock. But I changed to a 4 hp for cruising in the San Juan Islands and the currents involved there, and I'm glad I did. I get about the same fuel economy most of the time cruising at around 4-4.5 knots. --Gary Hyde Pullman, WA gmhyde1@mac.com M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

I got a new Honda 2HP with the M17 - is the 2HP sufficient? I had a 4 before and it was fine. Thanks for any info. jay
