Re: 2nd opinions on prop selection

I guess I need to add 2 more engines to my boat…

I may try a 70hp next season, but need to evaluate my structural engineering before heading down that road. More worried about the outer tube tie-ins/welds and c-channel cross members than anything else.

The center tube came off a grumman 20′ that was rated for 70hp. The outer tubes came off a small pontoon from the early 80’s that I suspect was probably rated for no more than 25-30hp (no rating plate). So the tie-ins are the weak part of their design.
