Over the long term you might be happier with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/WEN-56125i-1250-Watt-Generator-Compliant/dp/B074H5HGSX I think its a 4 stroke which would be another plus. |

Yes the tailgatir is cheap on sale for 105. Bucks. And there’s lesser powered for 79. Not that my power demands would be much but quietness is a great advantage. also minimal vibration is a factor too. The old 5 will be noisy enough as it is. |

Guy I know has a little Yamaha genny he bought as a refurb unit on Amazon. Very quiet, runs his camp refrigerator, lights, radios, fans, et cetera. I think he paid about $300 for it. You have to know which Yamaha. Costco was selling Yamaha 2000 generators for I think $600. They did not have the Yamaha engine. My 2000i Yamaha is a nice unit. Had to clean the carb once as the fuel gelled and was a bitch to,start. |

That's a good price, as the current sale catalog shows them at $124.99. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

You will need to work on sound deadening this thing. —— That seems to always be a problem. The noise and the vibration. Engine noise is bad enough but the vibration transferring through the hulls would add another annoyance. Eh, there’s others out there so I’m going to check them out too You should be able to make a shock mounted pad that will isolate the vibration. Surplus Center in Nebraska or one of those wheat states has this sort of stuff in their catalog. That is were I got the 700 pound rated castors for that stone entertainment center. |

I was guessing he was thinking he already had a big tank of 50:1 but maybe his engine is oil injected. Most OMC guys unhooked that VRO **** tho. |
