It's a 1983 two cylinder 50 Yamaha. They were de rated from 55hp to make way for the twin pot 60 which had a different mounting, block, electrics and gear ratio. The 50 is the better choice as you will never stick for spares.

If you have the time and knowledge and you're willing to go through the pain. They are a great first engine.

Yes, thats the ones. They're quite often missing for some unknown reason.

when you say stability, do you mean you were chine walking? i.e side-side?
probably putting it in a hole would help yes.
the resident sr4 peeps will be able to advise better than me on what to try after that.
as you don't have PTT you'll just need to play with weight balance and fine tune that way i guess, shouldn't be a big deal though.
cheers
