Garry t Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hi just bought a 22ft Dawncraft, however it does need an outboard for it, it will be used mainly on the canals, however as we are moored in Stockworth there will be short trips on the Trent, what size hp would you recommend and does it need a short or long drive. Was thinking of a 10 hp outboard enough? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Our Dawncraft used a short shaft, and we had to remove a section from the engine from our previous boat. Do double check though as Dawncrafts have seen a lot of surgery throughout their lives! Ours was a 15hp outboard and had plenty of reserve power. I have seen them get along nicely with 6 hp on canals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
