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.

It's the lower unit that is suspect and as it should be.

They aren't built for long term service.

And they are incredibly noisy.

Later,

Tom
