,,just been looking at tugs for sale on the net ,and in the ships inventory , a lot are fitted/carry a ML LIFEGUARD inflatable man overboard recovery rescue boat ,that look just like yours ,, ib395 , and most seem to be fitted with johnson 9.9 hp engines . suppose the IB395 stands for inflatable boat 3.95 meters long ,,it will probley take a bigger engine though i suppose for just recovering a m.o.b a 9.9 willl be powerfull enough.

cheers mate ,i can get hold of a 15hp cheap so will have that on it,its what the chap used on it,can t find anymore photos or price anywhere ,never mind

Any pics of the boat during your work in progress would be good.

It will be a very nice boat when finnished.

I would think a 25hp would be max ,but ya never know ha ha

15hp will be nice and cheap to run and give tons of fun
