Decided to enter the world of inflatables this year with a budget of 1k. Found a 9.6 foot Saturn for 300 buck a few weeks ago.  And just fount an outboard for a little over 600, picking it up tomorrow!  Looking forward to some small excursions this summer!! |

Have fun touring in your inflatable. Inflatables are a cool way to extend your boating enjoyment. We will be taking ours back down to the marina in a couple of weeks to set it up for this season's use. Mike. |

NICE! The johnson looks about the same year range as the one I have. I love it!! I bought a new 4 blade prop last year to get the whole family up on plane and ended up getting a little more speed when I am by myself. Also, invest in a lanyard if it doesn't have one. I found a new one on ebay for like $12 and was easy to wire and replace the stock off button. I also use it like a key and take it with me when we beach or dock somewhere. |

You'll have a blast with that. We have a little Zuke DF 2.5 on our Walker Bay 10' dinghy. It's great fun and runs all day on a couple of gallons. |

Very cool, I just picked up a Zodiak Cadet (230 I think -7ft 7inch), and I have a 2.5hp gas Suzuki on it. Boat weighs 49 lbs and the motor is 29, so it works out well, Just have it as a toy, since my main is a 248...should fit on the front of the bow (less motor) or we'll just tow it. Very stable and ran over an hour on its 1 liter tank at med/full throttle. NJboater |
