Hi all

I'm very new to this boating hobby and have just bought an inflatable
Seahawk 500 boat. I see from the spec that a motor up to 3HP can be
attached.

I have one or 2 quesrtions relating to this :

1. Can I get away with fitting a Mariner 3.3HP Outboard Manual Start Short
Shaft or alternatively a Mercury 3.3HP Outboard Standard Shaft or is 3HP
the
absolute max ?

2. With 2 adults what sort of speed would one expect to achieve with one
of
the above motors ?

3. Endurance on 1 tank of fuel , any ideas ?

Sorry about these qu's but it would be nice to make contact with preple
who've been down this route before with this boat or similar.

Many thanks in advance

Jim
