[QUOTE="JNG, post: 459347, member: 11551"] While I'm a Merc man myself, the one outboard brand that seems to generate the fewest repairs/complaints is Honda. If I needed an outboard and my sole focus was long life and boring reliability, it would be Honda. In reality there are no real 'bad' brands out there. Be aware that Tohatsu makes most of the small outboards (under 50-75hp) irregardless of brand name. All Honda, some Suzuki, and some Yamahas are the exception to that. While Honda costs more up front, the real value is in long life and few repairs. Hondas generally don't perform as well as say a Merc but the performance difference is minimal. In your situation it might mean 1-3mph. But you did mention that did not matter to you. [/QUOTE]
