60 Yamaha on a 22 angler?

Different strokes, for sure. I had no trouble getting on plane with 75 h.p. at about 3/4 throttle. Light boat and trim tabs. For my use I prefer the smaller engine to the 90s. And of course very few Brats will agree. Have a 90 Yamaha now on a 22, have had 90 ETEC, and several 90 Hondas -- all on 22 CD's. I easilly cruised at 15 knots -- and have absolutely no need for more speed because where we fish is only 15 NM max from the marina, and the CD rides very comfortably on easy, economical, plane.

YMMV

Thanks for all the help. i did know that a 60 on a 22 would be under powered, I just didn't know by how much. I was just thinking of keeping it on it for a year or two, as I already own it I thought if I could get by, im a fisherman, it would lessen the economic situation. I've found out that buying a used boat is much more difficult than a new one! I guess i will not be a owner of a C-Dory for some time?

The minute that reselling withing a short period of time is important the whole equation changes. I can't imagine trying to resell an underpowered 22 (anything less than 80 hp...to normal load-heavy users) in these economic times without having to seriously compromise the price.

Just go buy another 60hp and have twins or trade the 60 in for a 90
