{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Horsepower at Fletchers

I have a five horse power 4 stroke Honda (weighs about 60 lbs) and it is fine even going "uphill" against Spring currents. A 3.5 HP would probably work OK, but be slow upstream in  the Spring.  A 6 HP  (e.g., Tohatsu, Nissan or Mercury) would probably  work well too.

 If II am not mistaken, the maximum limit is about 8 HP or ~
80 Lbs which would is a little heavy to easily haul to the boats from the parking area just up from the dock.

If one were to buy/borrow a motor for the wooden rowboats at Fletchers, how much horsepower would you need to be able to handle the current there?
