I have a 40' trawler that is around 28,000lbs. I bought it with an SP55 thruster. At 12V should put out 147lbs of thrust.
At the Newport Boat Show a few months ago I was told that it too small for my size boat. That I should go with a the SE80 with at 12v 212lbs of thrust.
There is a SE60 but it only puts out 161lbs of thrust. only 14lbs more. not a real difference. The good thing is the tunnel is the right size for the SE80.
Yes, the SE80 would be better. But is the SE55 considered too small for my size boat? Is the SE60 more in line but most like not worth the money to gain so little? I have looked at the charts, but to me its a general guide.
