55hp on sr5.4

[swansea beast]

my mate has just blown a piston on his 90hp 2-stroke on a 5.4sr and as the engine is old has decided enough is enough
so hes putting his spare yam 55hp 2-stroke on.
what sort of speed etc is he likly to get i personally think the engine is to small for the boat
what you think?

It will work and get onto the plane however it's not going to be fast (25knots) and if there a couple of pie munchers on board then it might be a case of careful distribution !!!

oy whats wrong with pie munchers. I love a good pie (savoury ones) and what if there is only 1 pie muncher?

[swansea beast]

sadly we both pie munchers lol
so we`ll just have to chugg about, still faster than most of our other mates fishing boats lol

Re prop it- still won't be fast, but will at least rev somewhere near where it's supposed to.

Alternatively those things are ten a penny on ebay - twin 55s?
