Launch

Post by lecker68 »

Launched My Getaway today and the new 15hp. 2 stroke Johnson worked great I am going to get a 4 blade prop. and it tilts out of the water with no modifications. I will have pics when I get batteries for the camera.

Congratulations on your launch Lyle!

Sounds like your sailing season is under way. 8)

The C-22 is only rated for a 10 hp motor. I take it the C-26 is rated for the 15 hp motor or higher?

Thanks
Alan
It's a good life on the

I need the extra thrust especially in reverse for docking I need no more than half throttle but if I get in a tough spot I have the power to get out and with narrow river and stiff currents it will help.I still have to get the boom and sail on but when high water was there on a day off she went in.
Yes I am happy.
