ive already seen that one but someone said they used a 3.5 in sfumato | Jeff_Knox wrote: | | 5 hp will work... you just have to gear it right... many people use 5 and 5.5 engines... in sfumato they used a 3.5 hp i believe... |

if you use a 3.5 you will be very limited in where you go... the winch used in sfumato barely pulled and whenever someone put any force on it, the winch couldnt handle it... i remember horrell (i believe it was him) ollied down a gap using it and the winch cut out on the landing
a 3.5 will just give you headache... i strongly recommend getting a larger engine

| BLAIRWITCH, build a winch with the 3.5 hp engine. if it works then you're set. if not just upgrade to a larger engine. if you make your winch right it shouldn't be to hard to change out a sprocket and adjust the length of you chain. |

| since your only 150 pounds, I think a 3.5 will work as long as you dont try deep water or chair starts, and dont cut hard and pull on the winch hard |

| If you build it and it doesnt work you still have just gained a lot of usefull knowledge that could be applied to another winch down the road. |
