Hi Guys ,
I’ve had a zodiac Zoom 3.1m with a Tohatsu 8hp 2 stroke for 9 years , I’ve used it on holidays to Oban and on Loch Lomond , I’ve just purchased a Honwave 3.8 second hand , it is the air floor model , I don’t know the model number ,
I’ve been using it with the 8hp engine for the last week on holiday , definitely goes better with one and not two on it ,
I’ll be looking for a bigger engine for it shortly, will be picking your brains on the size to go for . John

Hi John, Welcome aboard.
Your new sib , if it has a V floor will be called a T38ie.. FANTASTIC CRAFT !!!

They'll do ok with a 8-10 hp but stick a 20hp for the full fat effect of the T38 and you'll be blown away by it's ability.
My personal opinion, i think the Suzuki is still king of the portables, Followed very closely by the Tohatsu, both sub 45kg and both efi, reliability with economy.

Enjoy the forum,

Martin

Like the name enjoy you boating, the name is appropriate for the weather you sometimes get there

Hi and welcome.
Oban is certainly a great area for getting out on the water, hope to get over that way later in the year again in my campervan.
Which site do you use there?
