But having seen it myself, it is a lot of boat!

My brother and I just finished the second power outing with the Scram Pram.
It might be of some interest to the group to have a performance report. I've
been using a 2 hp Evinrude for power, as I'm still gathering parts to rebuild
my Johnson 5.5. Well, the 2 hp is *really marginal*. I'd expect that it moved
in the 3 mph range wide open, maybe a bit more. With a bit of current and a
fair breeze, the large superstructure would have made the boat
uncontrollable.
I am sure that my 5.5 will handle it just fine, and I now think that a 7.5
would not be overpowering it.

I am sure that my 5.5 will handle it just fine, and I now think that a 7.5
