I just purchased my 2nd Whaler. It is a 1971 Sourpuss but with sport interior. It has the notched transom. It didn't come with an engine so I want to start looking. This will be the "grown up's" boat and I want to be able to pull water skiers and go tubing. I have searched on here and only a few threads came up but were very old. Are there any new options out there. I was thinking a Honda 40 hp but they don't come in 15" shaft. The 30 hp does but is it going to be enough hp? The weight of the 30 is also only 155 pounds. I know about the older Yamaha 40 2 strokes are an option as well. Does that engine compare to the Honda, as in relative hp? What do you think?

Thanks
Ed
