Dear R22 Members:

I’m throwing this question out to the group. In your experience, what is the best motor for the Rhodes? I currently have a Tohatsu Sailpro 6 hp pull-start. But it always seems a bit underpowered and vibrates a good bit. I’m toying with the idea of getting  a 9.9 two cylinder which I believe will be a lot smoother. Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions? Will the added weight be a factor? Honda vs. Mercury?

Thanks for your help.
