Re: Auray Punt Question

I’m sure the Auray Punt would perform well with a 2 or 2.5 hp outboard. The only structural modification I’d suggest, other than a motor mount plate, is to reinforce the corners where the gunwales meet the transom. Bolger designed the AP for lightness as well as excellent rowing. Without strengthening these corners I suspect motor vibration would cause some damage.

Can't see why not. The 'real' ones around here seem pretty capable. (I live about 10 miles from Auray)

Try googling 'bolger auray punt'.
Would an Auray Punt/Elegant Punt be able to handle a 2 hP motor with two adults in it?

I haven't seen much on it's load capacity, but I have been interested by it's looks.
