[QUOTE="tincansailor, post: 70991, member: 800"] I have this motor on my 14' jon boat and has performed very well. It is easy to start and is very fuel efficient. I start mine before launching to warm the engine up a little to make sure it will run right and will start with one pull of the rope when launched. I do not know how fast it pushes my boat but I get to where I want to go. I'm in no hurry anyway. It has different trim positions but I have not experimented with any so I might be able to gain some speed if I would. Sorry to hear they are no longer in production but I would think that if a problem arose with the engine you could take it to a lawnmower shop to get it repaired. Probably would not be the case if something happened with the lower unit part of the motor, would need to go to an outboard motor repair shop. I really like my motor and think you will be happy with yours. Congradulations on your find. [/QUOTE]
