If 5hp would work for me I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the American
Built B&S that's so easy
on fuel and by far the most economical to operate of *any* outboard
engine. I recall all the skepticism
when B&S first intro'd their outboard by so-called *experienced people
in this newsgroup back in 2002 ..they
lambasted it as just an updated lawnmower version which it is
certainly NOT..ignorance was bliss back then.

From everything I've read..you'll be hard pressed to find a single
owner who isn't very pleased and if and when it's needs a part..B&S
will not
do what all other marine engine manufacturers do..hit you extremely
hard in the pocketbook and that
includes the original retail price. No, B&S has proven to not only be
an exceptional (half the price) value but
also backs their engines as good or better then anyone. I wish they
made a 15hp.
