How long is it, How heavy is it, how small does it fold?
Do they have a way of putting a steering console on it?
You gettings davits?

The 5 HP got the old Quicksilver 300 (9'10) on a plane with just me in
it. I had to lean forward a bit and then it would skate along at around
13-15 knots. I don't want to deal with a huge heavy motor, so the 6 or
8 seems to make sense. No davits for the 35s5. It's an airdeck dinghy
and fits in the starboard lazerette deflated. This particular model is
9'5 and weighs 77 lbs. I doubt this dink could handle much more than
9.9Hp, which what I think it's rated for. My old Quicksilver was rated
for 15HP.

Oh OK, I forgot, with the swiming platform you cant use a davit.
And no since in having a proper steering console on a dink if you have
to stuff it in a locker all the time.

15 HP aint much for 4 NYers and a kid IMO.

A few 35s5's had davits, but it's not something we need. 5 hp on the
previous dink worked fine with 3-4 adults. No planning, but what's the
hurry? I'll buy either a 6 or 8 HP so it's not a drag to lug around. 15
HP is crazy to have on a 35 foot sailboat. I don't think I've ever seen
a small sailboat carry such a large dingy motor.
