Any boat people? Just bought a.boat. Wana know if I can putt around with a certain motor
    #22076800 - 08/11/15 02:54 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

So I bought a 36 foot houseboat. Ive got one friend whos lived and worked on water his whole life. Hes 67. He told me as long as the water is calm I can putt around on a 6hp. Im basically just gonna be down river where it stays reall calm amd move it every few days and be able to get to the dock but otherwise gonna anchor. He says I wont be going fast but it will certainly do. Another friend saying no way. We threw a 6hp on the otherday that was running on one cylinder. It definitly moved it. My one friend saying no way doesnt have as much experience. I told him im not trying to go fast. Also gonna sign up for seatow which is a.service where they will tow if you break down. Im also saving.up for a dock slip. I just need to be able to put around slow for until then. What say you?

A 36 foot houseboat with a 6 HP outboard?  Yeah it'll move it.  So will an oar.

I lived on a "house boat" I made out of a flat-bottom for a couple months.

Lol if you Google around you'll see house boats of that size are equipped with 10x that horsepower. Common sense tells me the only way that motor is going to move you is if you're heading down stream. Seems like it'd be a losing battle to go upstream.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

A 6HP will move that boat. But rivers have very changing conditions and you could find yourself in a dangerous situation, or get long term stranded if you have to stay in the safe backwater area.

:whathesaid:
a six is way too small for that unless you keep it on a bass pond. I would say 15 hp minimum for a river...and that will be barely enough to move you upstream let alone do any travelling. Is this a pontoon boat?

I have a 60 horse on my  17' skiff and a 140 on my 19 foot cuddy.

36 feet is a lot of water resistance.

These rivers have very little current. They are like tributary rivers that feed into the bay.

man id bump up to atleast a 25. I got a 25 HP 1968 johnson seahorse for the first boat I ever owned for $35 in like 2007 or something. I thought it was a pos that would never run but it was actually pretty reliable and fun to tinker on. 6hp is basically a trolling motor but some lakes by me you can only go up to 9.5hp and ive seen some people with big ass pontoons millin around:sadyes:
