Well I stand corrected...it actually exists but I don't think I can get one here. A 90HP that is only weighs about 40lbs more than my Honda BF50A seems like the perfect choice for a "sailboat" like the Mac. I still haven't pulled the trigger on the 90HP yet, but will in the spring - probably the E-tec 90 but maybe the Suzuki DF90...it's a really tough call. I think weight is a factor, just because my boat happens to be stern-heavy already...not sure why, it just floats nose up.kadet wrote: Maybe not in the USA, but here ya can.

Here is a photo from last year on Grenadier Island, Ontario, just a few miles northeast of Alexandria, NY-it's a bit hard to see the nose-up attitude since the ballast was out. This photo was taken during the day with no-one on the boat. In the morning with my wife and the three boys still in bed, I actually looked back from this vantage point and panicked one morning thinking that the nose-high attitude was caused by a leak! Had to run back and wake everyone up to check.
If that 261lb 90HP yammy was available here it would be high on the list just because of the weight, even though it looks kind of old-tech.
