Hi All: I'm in the market for a Eastern 24' Cuddy Cabin boat. The
boat's dry weight is appx. 3000-3100 lbs. If you live in the New
England area this boat looks exactly like a lobster boat & is.
Although, this will be used for pleasure boating.

Here's my scenario. Eastern is a Honda outboard dealer & they are
pushing the Honda 130.

Are you sure that is enough power for a 24' boat?
I have a 200 Merc on my 22' walkaround that weighs about the same and has an
8' 3" beam and it is good power (46 mph WOT) but I wouldn't want less.
