Hi all Anyone out there with a ramco seeker who has a 30 hp fourstroke? I'm interested in finding out if this would be too underpowered . I know many of them have 30s on them ( much cheaper to buy than a 40) and seem to get by. I'm not looking for a Ferrari but neither am I looking for a camper van on a windy road! Any suggestions would be helpful - thanks |

| How will you be using it, no more than two just fishing, no great distance? |

Yeah only 2 light weights (120 kg combined) not incl gear. Never go really miles- just around the bay of islands and north beach launching . But usually fish in shallows |

| Put a 40hp tohatsu on it. 5% off at the moment. PM me for deal if interested |

| Yep RC1 is right - far better with a 40hp - a 30hp will struggle at times. |

Yeah it would be a bit of a slug. Ours does 50kph pretty much flat out 2-up with a Yamaha 40 2-stroke. In a following sea I sometimes feel like another 10hp wouldn't go astray either. |
