The new 2HP will be used on the dinghy when cruising. It will be easy to lift up to the rail on the CS34 when not in use. Hopefully the 2hp will be enough to push the Catalina 22 to the race course and back.
Besides the weight savings, I like the fact that new motor has an integrated fuel tank; no more external tank and fuels lines in the dinghy or cockpit of the sailboat.
Bart, some club race rules say that you motor must get your vessel up to hull speed. You 2 hp may not do that. You might want to check that rule at WYC
