Outboard recommendations

I agree with Scott, on the sizes and what you have said it fine too but I've never heard of an alternator on anything smaller than 8hp but they could make one that I'm not aware of. I would not consider a Honda, unless it's brand new because they are hard to get parts for of local shops to work on from what I've heard. I think Tohatsu is a good option, same as a Murcury from what I've heard, both are good motors. Johnson and Evinrude also make good motors.
