if you begin with a low powered engine than a high powered
do you mean if i use an engine that is the right size for the boat or start with a smaller boat. i understand that this isnt at all the same, but i hgave a fair biut or expeirience with .45 (7.5cc engines), i know that this doesnt mean i know anything or everything about marin .45's but ahh well, i'll learn wont i :P
I mean start with the right size engine. For example, if you decide on a .21 size boat, get a .21 engine such as the OS or OPS. Learn how to operate the engine and how to trim the boat to get the most out of the engine. Once you have some skills, if you still need more speed, consider upgrading to a more powerful (and much more expen$ive) engine such as a MAC, Nova Rossi, etc. Same if you are starting out with a .45 size boat, get an OS, OPS, or even K&B engine.
