Sorry to re-open a somewhat older thread (3 weeks old).

I am looking for a tender/motor combination and considering the Porta-bote.

What is the recommended outboard motor for the 10' model?
I have seen talk of good performance with 4hp with one aboard but not sure of performance with 300-400 lbs aboard. Does it make sense to go with a 6hp or is that too much for this boat? The specs show no maximum limit which I find disturbing as I'm sure a 220hp motor would cause problems.
