Hello, my son (18) just purchased one of these boats, and needs to replace
the old 15 horse evinrude outboard currently on board. The motor fits in a
well, behind the cockpit...will one of the new 4 stroke motors, ie., Honda
work in this application? I would imagine it would have to be a long shaft
as well...any hints are appreciated, best, michael

any long shaft motor will work in that appication. Your son has a great boat!
My family has owned Pearson Ariel, which is the same hull as the Commander but
with a larger cabin, for that last12 years.

The case of the 4 stroke motors is quite a bit larger than 2 strokers so he
might want to measure how much room he has in the well and see if the new
motor will fit.
