does any one know about the briggs and stratton 5 hp motor. I wanted to put one on my lowe 1236 jon and don't know if this is a reliable motor. Any info will help thanks.

I thought they would be cool mounted to the back of my (future) Alumacraft 17' Canoe, or as a backup for my (yet to be cracked into) dying Johnson. Anybody have pictures of the motor mounted to their boat or video of the motor running???

I'd think it would cause too much back pressure, therefore reducing the power output since it wasn't designed for it.AlumaDude said:Watched the vid. It looks like it moves you at a resonable clip. It might be a viable option ! I wonder if it would be possible to have somebody weld up an exhaust dump underwater to quiet the noise, or if that would even work? Also what about some thick heavy rubber (layers of innertubes?) to help with the vibration? I like it!!! =D>
