[QUOTE="Ictalurus, post: 287265, member: 2983"] Have to go used. Good news is that these are extremely reliable motors (Johnson/Evinrude), easy to work on, and will most likely hold it's value while you own it. I have a 1998 8 HP Evinrude, weighs in at 57 lbs, burns very little gas, easy to work on and maintain, and can get my 1448 w/ just me to run around 17 MPH (drops off considerably when passengers are added). I like to troll, especially when my 2 y/o tags along, and the 8 HP is perfect. I've been in boats w/ 4 strokes (granted they were 20HP) and it seemed even at idle they clip along pretty good, too fast to troll. [/QUOTE]
