Trojan87 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hi lads have a general question I’m hoping someone can heap me with. I’m trying to find a manufacturers specifications sheet for a 1980 Savage Tasmin. Does anyone/have a link to such info? Need to know what kind of weight the transom will take before buying new/used outboard for my project. Currently has a everdure Johnson 65hp from the 80’s. (engine is no good which is why it’s being replaced) Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hi, They are called Savage Tasmam. From memory they had a 70 or 80hp. Hit Google and You Tube, you may find some answers there. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t had a good look over it as of the moment may have to pull the cover off it and have a good look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I can't help with actual specs. But the Savage Tasman was an entry level half cab fibreglass boat measuring 15.09 ft or 4.6 metres long, they usually had between 60 and 85 hp motors on them. Back in 1980 a 85hp motor was very heavy. Generally the 70hp was the choice , these days with more modern technology the 70hp motor would be lighter with more up and go than the old 80's models so IF looking for what size motor to fit I would suggest 70hp, either old or new, the boat will perform well either way.

Frank I doubt if a 4 stroke would be lighter, or have more get up and go for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
