RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
HJ..a G230 should work just fine, especially for a sport boat. There is a little more case around it so fitting may be a little different than a PUM engine. I used to stick the G230 jugs on the 230PUM so I could get a 4 port transfers and about 5.5hp with a pipe. Even if left in its original 'air cooled' configuration they make decent power for a sport boat. When Warehouse Hobbies started using Zen's in their Enforcer ARR deep vee's (46 inch length) they used the G230 and G260 air cooled engines and they would do 40ish right out of the box. Roger C.
