What is the largest outboard anyone has tried or heard of for the TI? I am interested in putting one on mine for those long days after fishing when I am too tired too paddle/pedal 10 or more miles back home and there is no wind blowing. I have seen the videos of 2.3 to 2.5 outboards on the AI but was wondering if anyone has tried a 3.5 up to 6hp on a TI.
I've tried a lot Of Motors on my TI. both. electric and gas. I once had. a 3 horsepower. outboard It was too heavy and too powerful for the T I's plastic hull. While, it got the. speed. up to 7 mph, the hull was Planeing poorly. From my experience. 2.5 to. 3 horsepower is the maximum. for the TI You would be surprised how far and fast you couldyou go witonly 3 horsepower electric motor. That would be my recommendation. For more information, please see my. extensive posts. on motors for the TI in this forum.
