[Public-List] Yamar 2cyl 15hp

[Joseph Balderson]

Thank you Jim,
  I have an A-30, hull #115, no liner. It has been my intention to use a
Beta.( The Yanmar has been an after thought.)  What horsepower do think
would work the best when using the Beta? Cruising the Ches Bay as far south
as Bahamas.
Thank you for taking the time to advise.
Joe
