Hi everyone
I'm new to the group, and new to any sort of boating!
Anyway, i have been left a 16 foot speed boat, gps, fishfinder, lifejackets
etc, but the engine was lost when the garage was broken into and to be
honest i now want to get it back on the water and use it as a sunday fishing
boat, but as its my first boat i have no idea what size engine will push my
boat out to sea from Shoreham in sussex about 1/2 a mile and then push me
home again in one piece.
It does not have to be lightening fast, but i want it to be powerful enough
to get me and a 2nd person out for a few hours fishing, so what do you
think??
Any for sale items can be sent to muttsdanglers at blueyonder dot co dot uk

Many thanks

Paul

Probably worth asking this question here http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/
Might find a suitable engine here

Hope this is of some help.
