[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 171586, member: 1776"] I have an OLD 3.5 that I used once on my 16foot decked and heavy tinny. It would move me, but not very fast - 3mph max. I'm always a fan of more HP - like 7.5 for your size boat. Without that as an option, since the total weight will be neglible between models, as will the noticable HP - I'd go with the one I felt was better built (ie less plastic parts). I saw a small hp motor the other day and I swear it had a plastic prop on it. Personally, I want some kind of metal prop. I'd also wand one with metal/adjustable carbs (provided it still uses carbs). Since these are small, I assume they are 2cycle, so that should be good. All these being equal, the 3.5 wins out. [/QUOTE]
