arm to try a MT.

A friend has a stretched Microtrawler. It's stretched to 16', I
think. He has had a 10 hp Yamaha high thrust on it and is ready to
move up in power and go faster. The few Microtrawler websites seem
to have disapeared. Does anyone have information about how much
power is required to get a boat like this on step and keep it there
with various loads? I seem to remember Bolger reccommending the
Yamaha fourstroke 50 high-thrust but can't be sure. The high-thrust
wouldn't seem to be needed in a planing boat. Also the Yamaha 50
fourstroke is a very expensive engine. Does anyone have any
experience with the new Nissan TLDI outboards? I guess they are a
two stroke that meets new emmissions regs including California's.
Their price of course is significantly less than the Yamahas. I have
a Nissan 3.5 that is a very reliable simple engine but I know
nothing about Nissan's larger engines.
