Thanks Christopher!

Has the engine been good to you?

Re: Petter Model?

In general yes.  It IS 30 years old though.  Changing engine mounts was a challenge, and I promptly blew the starter.  But otherwise it is as advertised -- simple and reliable. 

Keep in mind that some of our fellow Contessa owners have installed twice the horsepower in their boats.  The 6.5 hp Petter will not allow you to set any speed records!

I have a PDF version of the Petter manual which I will send by E-Mail momentarily.

Cheers!
