60 Yamaha on a 22 angler?

I know someone with a 60 Yamaha on a 19 Angler that they bought used, and they are not happy with the performance.

It will depend on what you are trying to acheive.

Yup...you'll hate it.

Had one on my old 19 Angler...the first one built, under the "new" C-Dory (Reynolds family.)

They had no idea how to power it, and thinking the 19 should take somewhat less than a 22, we plopped an F60 on it.

It would barely plane, lightly loaded - and took forever to get there. It was simply horrendous...my dealer worked things out with C-Dory who had suggested the F60, and an F80 replaced it.

Given how bad it was on a 19, I can only imagine how bad a 60 would be on a 22.
 
If you only wanted to go displacement speed (in this case less than 8 to 10 knots--might be OK)--otherwise, go to a 90. You will be happier in the long run.

With the 60 and a Permatrim, you might get on a plane, but as noted above you will not be happy.
 
If you just want to go displacement speeds you could get by with a lot less than 60hp. But I'd say a 90 is your best bet if for nothing other than resale value.
 
60 Yamaha on a 22 angler?

Short by at least 15 hp!

60hp= :amgry

75 hp= :disgust

90hp= :smile

100 hp= :smileo

115hp= :twisted:

One more comment - while you could conceivably be happy with a 60HP engine if you only wanted to go at displacement speeds, it will lower the resale value since most potential buyers would not be happy. So if you really want to go slow, I'd still power it with a 90HP and just pull back on the throttle.
 
60 on a 22. You will be disappointed unless you are planning on displacement speeds only, and then like mentioned above, you can get by on much less. I have twin 40's and would opt for 50's at some point. 80 will do, but you will not be the leader of the pack. I doubt that the economy of the 2 40's is any better than 2 50's. You will be working that 60 way to hard.

If you are going to replace it! Put a 115 on it! You will be amazed at the power and security of getting out of a jam when loaded. Go big or go home! :twisted:
 
Don't know about a 60 Yamaha, but run often the equivalent of 61 combined hp out of twin Honda 40's on Yellowstone Lake at almost 8000 feet altitude. It would not plane if loaded with 7 people and camping supplies, but would plane nicely if moderately loaded at 14 mph with around 4200 rpm and max speed being 19 to 20 mph. Now would I prefer more hp? Most definitely!!! and as others have stated they would too. 80 hp is the minimum I would recommend and if budget allowed or if forced to re power it would be with a minimum of 90 hp.

60 HP is plenty for a 22 angler if you stay light -- as I do. Lots of other views, of course -- and I have a 90 on the present angler. I fish 2, sleep 0 and keep the boat as light as possible. The Angler was designed for a light 2-stroke, and the 75 Suzy on the 22 "Little Buddy" was a beautiful combination -- for me. The go-fast, load heavy, camper folks would not be happy with 60 HP.

The problem will be that the 60 HP Yamaha is heavier than the 2 strokes, and doesn't have the torque, so will struggle to get even a lightly loaded 22 Angler up on plane.

A 60 Evinrude E-Tec would have a much easier time on that boat.
 
We had a 50hp on a 22 cruiser it would do 15mph with 3 people on board but that was wide open throttle . maybe with one person and just planed off you could keep it at below 5000rpm .I replaced it witha 90 hp suzuki very happy with results
 
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.
