[QUOTE="Rockport Paddler, post: 410970, member: 20952"] Hello everybody. I acquired an Alumicraft 1236 with a Coleman 2.6 hp outboard for free. I'm a novice when it comes to boating as i spend the majority of my time on the water in a kayak. I'm not going to give up kayaking but i do want to get the boat in the water so i can take my daughter fishing with me. I only fish in saltwater in the bays. Will that 2.6 motor be enough to move that boat with just my daughter and I? I've seen alot of info browsing on here about max hp, not much about minimum. I'm already used to packing light for kayak fishing. I'm about 250, my daughter is only 8 and skinny as a whip. If it makes a difference the boat and motor are almost brand new. Probably less than 10 hours on them. Thanks for any info you may have. [/QUOTE]
