"im looking at a new 16 foot john boat with a 40 horspower 30 hp output, yamaha 4 cylinder engine.. i dont want to be underpowered, but also dont want more boat than i can handle as i am older.. i need just enough for three people and day gear for fishing or duck hunting and fuel. im worried about overworking this engine or looseing fuel economy by using only the higher rpms? i wont be running it all day or even that much as i will be hunting on an island or drift fishing.. i will be using it on the upper missouri, and steel head fishing in idaho, and would take it occationally to brittish columbia salmon fishing.. thanks for any input.. dave."
