2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22

It isn't going to be a speed demon but hoping that it's adequate for the fishing we'll mostly be doing in it.

A Sport model with Remote Steering has a max hp of 40. https://www.whalercentral.com/article...icle_id=78 A 30hp Honda short shaft motor weighs 155 lbs. A Long shaft motor from 1973 and later Sport 13' weighs 160 lbs. A 20hp Honda short shaft motor weighs 104 lbs. from 1972 Sport 13' and below. https://www.whalercentral.com/viewpag...age_id=155 Depends on what you really want or really need etc. https://www.whalercentral.com/userpho...lbum_id=37
