U20 General Discussion / Re: Outboard HP size and bracket max weight
« Last post by Gregg Henning on July 19, 2024, 03:25:06 PM »I have used a 5HP Nissan 2 Stroke on the bracket. I do tie it forward to give extra support as it has a lot of torque. It can plane the boat at 9 knots.

U20 General Discussion / Re: Outboard HP size and bracket max weight
« Last post by Mark Allen on July 11, 2024, 06:59:49 PM »Hello Ryan,
I just bought a 2.5 Suzuki. An upgrade from my 20 yr old 2hp 2 stroke Suzuki (Pepe). So far I am very happy with it since it had a lot of pep and surly more reliable than Pepe. My only criticism is a small fuel tank. So frequent refueling will be necessary along with a easy to use gas can.

U20 Boat Maintenance & Care / Re: Cockpit Hatch
« Last post by Steve Shaw on July 05, 2024, 12:18:06 AM »Not silicone. Stick (pun intended) with an adhesive sealant like a Sika or 3M 4000, 4200 or Loctite PL Marine.

Thanks, Mike

U20 General Discussion / Re: PHRF Rating Hit for Nonstandard Bowsprit
« Last post by Ryan Ericson on June 21, 2024, 03:43:33 AM »Steve,
Thank you for the comments and reassurance on the rating, there is not a ODR rating here. I was mostly surprised that the standard rating did not include the stock bowsprit and the fact that Bob's rating from the same PHRF fleet was different. Chief Handicapper reconsidered the rating he looked at ORC rated U20s with 13.2 as the JC. I now rate 162.
We will see how we do this Saturday racing against J/70s and Martin 242s in 10-15kts.
Kind Regards,
Ryan
