[linkland]

just bought the 20' sundance and i am looking for info on size of kicker motor to use, owner used 2hp elect. motor i do not think this will work in our location . any help?

Sounds good for getting home in calms, maybe 5 HP to fight wind, waves, and curent. A 9.9 HP would probablly be too heavy on the stern.

Ah, another Sundance owner. I have a Sundance 23 and use a 9.9.

I have a Sundance 20, depending on location and conditions, the troller and solid agm batteries will get you in and out of your slip or ramp if you can't sail it in, ie no wind. but not against 15 kt winds or 2 kt currents, A 4 hp outboard will do most anything with this boat, but starts to sink the stern, decrease sailing properties. Think light, small outboard with a internal (on the motor) tank, w a 1 gallon jug for refills.
