2 stroke / 4 stroke advice
Arturo Ui wrote:
snip My club has recently bought a 5m rib with a 4-stroke 40 on the back to 'patrol' the races. Its nice, but the engine IS heavy, is more economical, less fast, more quiet (See a pattern here?) My only gripe is that once you've rescued someone, with the rescued dinghy alongside and 3 people on board, the thing won't plane. If it's all the same to you, I'd rather you didn't do 25kts with my dinghy alongside... reminds me of a story I once heard of someone who was towed in by an RAF launch... However 40 doesn't seem an awful lot for a 5m RIB full of divers and tanks. It seems to me if you get a bigger motor you won't have to run it flat out all the time, so it'll last longer too. Not that I know a lot about these things. Andy |
