Advice please
I've just bought an old 5.5m chinook ( sea fury ) I think.
I need to know what is max / right size outboard I can fit.
Any info on chinook rib also welcomed.
Do you have any pictures? I had one and thought it was a great boat, excellent in the swell. Mine had twin 40hp 2 strokes and was good for 30/32 knots if I remember rightly having twins was good fun but expensive. They'll be old boats now - I'd say mine was 1987?
After reading through endless old threads and for sale ads it seems as though a 90hp would be max but a 65hp would do just fine.
Does that sound about right ?
I would be looking at the transom for ageing and going from their. 70-115 would really push that puppy along but it's all down to your boating knowledge/confidence vs boat age and deterioration
