      Thanks Paul! I will go with a mercury 3,5hp! A good speed/weight ratio and a perfect add-on back-up in case of an emergency (especially with kids onboard) or in narrow area’s (harbor, rivers,…). The Weta fun just keeps on growing for me 🙂

        Hello there!

        I recently became a Weta family member (bought Weta 424) and read this topic with high interest! In Belgium we have strong currents at sea. I have allready build a motor mount for my Weta to be able to go out and return safely. Unfortunately I’m not sure how much hp I should choose to be able to return to the harbor quite fast ,even with strong currents, but also avoiding crossing the legal max. 20km/h limit. Anyone has an idea of the speed output of a 2,5hp and 3,5hp on a Weta? These are very interesting because of their low weight (17kg). All tips are welcome!

        Greetings,

        Laurent
