Honwave t38 speed test 2 adults

The motor has enough power to move that boat just fine.

Hi thanks for your comment!! It pushes it along ok until you add 2 people and 3 people it won’t plane so unfortunately it’s no use to me I regularly take out 4.

You would trust that wee engine with your life though!

[@ryanferris7841]

Yes very reliable! However they have a 20h version 😄

[@zxgeorger]

@@ryanferris7841 I know! The 20hp Mariner version is in the boot of my car here along with a T38. Just off the ferry from collecting it of a nice guy in England. Maiden voyage maybe today lol.

@@zxgeorger I would live a 20h however I’ve just bought a brand new 9.9 Yamaha there at the weekend lol i couldn’t resist it

I'm curious about your statement that a 20HP Tohatsu is the same 37kg as the 9.8 I may be wrong and if this is the case I would be disappointed in the choice of motor for then 330 pro i fly. I do enjoy your content but to me an Xtra 6 KG is a big difference in weight although I do stress that I may be missing something in the Tohatsu specs

[@ryanferris7841]

I apologise!! Yes the 20 is heavier I meant to say it feels the same to me it’s a mistake on my behalf, thanks for watching I appreciate the support

[@lw40404040]

@@ryanferris7841 No problem as I said it may have been a mistake on my behalf otherwise I could lift a 20 HP therefore hyperdrive would have been an option.

[@dustinj7650]

the 9.8hp is 81lbs, the 9.9hp is 94lbs, which is probably the same as the 20 hp (short shaft)

I have a 3.8 meter Zodiac. Yours wentt will with the 9.8hp. im surprised . I havnt had mine in the water yet. Looking forward to its. Mine is a soft bottom. Is yours a sib? I hab a bad back and im worried about the vibrations. Are SIBs worse than RIBs in the chop?

[@ryanferris7841]

Air keel/floors are definitely alot bouncer in the chop because they are very light plus the inflatable floor acts like a trampoline 😅
