o.k. BUT buy a well known motor like a mercury....
because everything in life needs service, and mercury has the dealers nation
wide.

yes you can get deals on cheap stuff, but when that stuff breaks who is
going to fix it, is the first question, second question, who carries
parts from japan....?????

so I stand by my statement, buy a mercury.....

What does the "group" think about a 5 hp 2-stroke outboard on a 12 ft. Jon
boat for small river fishing. Assuming a payload of less than 350 pounds,
would a new motor perform respectably?
