560 Barcrusher and 100HP
Submitted by Tandawg on Mon, 2011-08-15 19:58
Hi all, I am in the market for a Barcrusher 560. The boat is rated from 115HP but there is one reasonably priced with a 100 Yammy 4 stroke. Is there anyone out there with a 560/100HP combo who could give me the heads up, or even 560/115HP (which is a common combo).
Thanks in advance
Chris

I had a mate with a 115hp on the back and said it went fine but a little under powered. He ended up upgrading to a 150hp and the boat flew. I would always look at running the max hp on a boat so you always have a bit in reserve.
A 100hp will prob do the trick but you will find your always in the high rev range travelling around. If you do alot of trolling then it would be very economical. If you do a lot of travelling then you would burn alot more fuel. If you can get it at a good price then you can always upgrade down the track.
Cheers
