I have used a Honda 2.3 four stroke on my S17 on a lake and was pleased with the performance. It does have the advantage of disconnecting the prop at low revs which I think is important. I set the motor up to run straight with motor only and then used the rudder. Turns in both directions were good.

On my boat there is not room to spin the motor for reverse so care is needed. However it is much more manageable than the Seagull I had on an Orkney Longliner.

A couple more pics of my Storm15 build.  Had a couple of hard frosts this week so the pressure is on to get the boat out of the garage and my wife's car back in.

On the home straight now though.  1st coat of primer is on the outside.  This has helped highlight the less than perfect finish for attention.

Is it just me or does anyone else post into the wrong thread.  Maybe Ive been sniffing the paint fumes too much.
