Joe,
I went through the Stone Bridge channel at the Tiverton Basin with mine against a 4 knot tide without any issues other than it took a bit longer to do it. If my engine was very unreliable and I planned on useing the outboard frequently then 6HP or even an 8HP 2 stroke would be my choice. For occasional use a 4HP with a high thrust prop does the job for me.

Joe,
It worked well on my Herreshoff Yacht Club Launch with a Yanmar 3GM30.

I had a 4HP Mercury 4 stroke on mine that did the job.

John,
Looking closely at the pictures of the yacht club launch from CA I can tell you that it is without a doubt my boat. It is back in New England less than 12mi from where she was originally built. I was wrong about the vhf radio being installed by the person I purchased it from as it is obviously there on the port side of the console. The black square on the front of the console is the remote speaker for the vhf. My boat also has 4 rod holders on the engine cover located in the same place as those shown on that boat. You may have noticed a small black spot to the port side of the battery switch, that is an on/off toggle switch for a raw water wash down pump. I will send you some more pics as soon as I relaunch the boat this weekend, I pulled it for Irene.

Joe,
I will get them out to you right away. The thing that really caught my eye was that my boat even has a kicker bracket mounted in the same place as that boat and my battery switch is in the same location, although that could have been a standard location if it was a stock item.

Joe,
It had a Pices fresh water cooled diesel that was frozen when I got the boat and I replaced it with a Yanmar 3GM30F. I emailed you some pics awhile ago that you were going to post, you did email me back to say that you received them. If you still have themthe only differences I can see is the addition of the bow dodger, and vhf radio which the previous owner had put on by Burr Brothers.

Joe,
Do you know the hull # of that boat? The person who owned my boat before me purchased it in California and had it shipped to Burr Brothers in Marion MA.

Joe,
The title lists it as a 1977 but I agree with you that it should be a 1971. Squadron Yachts does not seem to have built any boats prior to 1977 and HIN were not required in 1971 so my quess is that what looks like a 1 is actually a poorly formed 7?

I have recently launched my Herreshoff Yacht Club Launch. It is located in Somerset, MA. I purchased it from William Simich. He bought it in CA and had it shipped to Burr Brothers in Marion, MA. The HIN is TSPHP089M771. The title lists it as a 1977 and the builders plate lists Squadron Yachts as the builder. The original engine was an Iszu Pices 27 2cyl diesel. The engine was not running when I purchased the boat, the owner said it had water in one cyl., and I just happened to have a Yanmar 3GM30F sitting in my garage with no home so I installed that. I don't know how to upload pics on this site so if you want to see it let me know your email address and I will forward you some.
