[QUOTE="wingsnhammers, post: 300610, member: 9821"] I just sold a boat with one of the B&S motors on it. My Briggs was on a 1430 flatbottom and I only got it to plane out once. They are slow and noisy. Mine was dead solid reliable though. It would start on the first pull on a cold motor in 30 degree weather. It is air cooled too, so it is nice not having to worry about an impeller. If it runs well, it will be a good motor for someone just starting out. You will want more power soon though. It looks like you have a nice project. I have a similar build going right now too. This boat has a 10hp outboard and I am betting that I will still be wanting more. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
