I took the Outrage out today on a reservoir that has a max of 10 hp. I have a 1987 6hp Evinrude that I put on the transom to test how it would do. Mind you the motor has a std prop, not one for thrust. The boat did about 4-6 mph. Reverse was at best mediocre. Forward was decent, but heading into the wind, I noticed I had to keep the motor at full throttle. I have a 1990 Yamaha 4hp (1 cly) that I would like to try next. The 6hp seemed to be the smallest I would feel comfortable with. I will report on the 4hp results. I bought a 2000 9.9 Evinrude 4-stroke that looks brand new that I will install over the winter.
