It moved the boat pretty well. I used to keep it in Marina Del Rey. J24s used to race in the evenings there. They never took their outboards with them. When the wind died, as it usually did that time of day, I would take one or more of them in tow and haul them back to the marina.... I think I had three at the same time once.
I could make over 4 knots with a couple of them behind me. Probably says more about the J24s than my boat or motor, though...

What did you repower with? How difficult and how much, this boats not worth alot of $$$$. The motor turns over but won't start? I'm thinking a ferryman might be a better option. Could we buy that manuel?
Thanks
