They are great little engines for fresh water only. They are not for
the salt chuck. They are excellent for small lakes with a small boat.
And it's beats rowing They might even make a good kicker for
trolling.

Best of all, they are under $1000.00, no mixed oil and no 2 stroke oil
in the water, which helps save the environment.

People laughed at B&S when they first came out with this product. But
you can't beat the price and good old reliable B&S technology and
engineering. As for reliability, I don't know. But I do know from B&S's
other products, if you don't abuse them, they hold up well. But like I
said, it's mainly the price that is so attractive with this little
engine.
