Interresting idea. yves gelinas took out his engine for his circumnavigation,
but he did not carry an outboard,either He gained alot of storage space,
certainly-engine area, fuel tank, exhaust system, etc, etc. I would thind
that for LIS, or the chespeke, or other protected water, you could get by
with an outboard. But if you got into a tough spot offshore, and had to
power sail into a steep chop, I thnk the boats pitching would alternately
pull the prop out of the water, then submerg the engine.
So it's all in the sailing you want to do.
Griff, Biil Hamm, who is the GSTD in the aol sail chat, has put an ouboard on
his Pearson Coaster. email him and see how he likes it.
Its a very similar boat to ours.
