    Is Too Much Power A Bad Thing?

    Hey Guys. I am new to boating and recently bought an 2.8 Meter (9ft 3in) fiberglass RIB. I found a 15 hp outboard with a steering bar that I am thinking of purchasing.

    Control Box

    Hello, I am looking at a 15 hp Evinrude that the owner thinks is a 1985. He is selling it along with a steering station and I hope to put both on an inflatable RIB. I am curious what type of control box I need (I assume this will control the throttle). I have seen so many and with so many...

    JP Watercraft Yacht Series

    I see a 9 or 10 ft rib (seller isn't sure) advertised on Craigslist. The picture shows a "JP Marine Yacht Series." I found a couple references to this brand/model but they are very different from the one in the ad. Does anyone know anything about them?

    Mercury 9.8 hp?

    Found this for sale 60 miles away. The seller tells me it is a 9.8 hp, 2 stroke but he doesn't have any idea of the year. I have heard these Mercury outboards are among the lightest available. I would really like the 9.8 hp, but I cannot lift heavy objects due to a health condition. Any idea of...
