[QUOTE="satx78247, post: 356599, member: 11019"] josh870, I fear that you will be DISAPPOINTED in the speed of even a 12ft boat with 6HP, with 400# aboard. = I've run a 5.5 Johnnyrude on a square-stern canoe & wished for more "juice", if running against a gentle current in a creek. IF it was my little tin boat, I'd keep looking until I found a 10-12 horse OMC, that LOOKS & RUNS good. (OR that is REALLY, REALLY cheap, like the 20.oo Gale 12HP that my "fishing buddy" found this AM at a garage sale, that is missing the gas tank.) There are literally HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of GREAT 1955-70 OMC outboards "out there in America", so it's just a matter of PATIENTLY LOOKING. best wishes, satx [/QUOTE]
