Zephyr is a fast runabout and will take a 50 h.p. motor. However, I recommend that a smaller motor be used for ordinary cruising and water-ski towing. A 35 or 40 h.p. with the proper prop and setting will give almost as much speed as a 50 and will be much safer to operate. A tow tender is a “must” for ski towing with this boat so that the driver can give all his attention to driving. A rearview mirror helps but it is not enough safetywise to tow a skier with just a driver and a mirror.
