Hello all. New member with a 3.6mtr Waveline SIB, currently running a 5hp Mariner, but knowing me will be maxxed out at 20hp before too much longer. Bought it last week, mostly for fishing in the Solent and to give me more mark options than my usual kayak fishing trips.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Yes going up in power would transform performance. If you are solo 10hp as a minimum but ideally 15/20hp.

Post some pics of the outfit next time you're out, we like pics.
