They tend to paddle wheel and have a lot of transom lift on a light boat. Be careful.

I guess it depends on the boat and what your general "day on the water" activities are like. My Brother ski's with one and says it's nice for that application.

I would think they would be crank breakers on hypo motors. See them being good for pulling so yeah should work good for those type applications.
