I have a 15ft 1969 Invader tri-haul.<br />The 60 hp motor on it is shot. I just purchased a 1980 6 hp motor. Would this motor pull us around as far as trolling/fishing? Please advise.
I would not use a 6hp as the primary motor on a 16-foot tri-hull. You'll end up burning up the motor trying to get around. Save the 6hp as an auxilary on the side and get a proper sized motor for main power. It's also likely that the boat is set up as a long-shaft transom, and the 6hp is likely a short shaft, so you wouldn't move much in any case...<br />- Scott
