I use this motor on my small aluminum boat.
Pros:
[ul][li]They are air cooled[/li][li]If you run it into the mud it has a rubber gear that drives the prop that is easily changed so you do not damage the internal parts. (been there done that)[/li][li]4 stroke[/li][li]pretty good on gas[/li][/ul]Cons:
[ul][li]They don't have a lock to lock them in a up position[/li][li]I have had a problem with the cylinder filling with oil when I store the boat in a tilted back position. I really hate this one. Even a slight angle has resulted in this problem.
[/li][/ul]There may be people with other experiences. I also would like to see what others have to say. Good luck.
