Just recently acquired a new Zodiac SR 4.7 still working on getting an outboard for it. glad to have stumbled in this group.

Where to start for newbie questions?

Max weight 125 kgs otherwise it will be unbalanced. Because of the narrow beam sadly there are inly a few decent hp outboards will suit.

I gather most Evinrudes under 60HP are less than 250lbs.

So it's looking like a year-long project for me...but on the list are the following:

Zodiac Rec Pro stand-up Console with Forward Jump seat and
Leaning post
InMar or AtlanticTower T-Top
Evinrude 50-60HP outboard
Icom VHF radio (currently carry a FindMeSpot GPS unit and an M36 Handheld)
(Maybe) an AtlanticTower A-frame.

I plan to take my little boy cruising with me once he gets a little older so i don't think i need a lot of bells and whistles other than what is necessary for safety.
