A friend of mine has first dibs on one of these and he was wondering if they are worth his time. Thanks in advance for any info.
 
Depends on price. I wouldn't pay more then $300 for it and it needs to run and look good for that amount.
 
I wouldn't buy one. It is a lawnmower engine that they are trying to adapt to small outboard. Low rpm motor, loud, and not sure how much tilting the oil in crankcase can take for shallow water running. Find a "real" outboard. ;)
 
The guy who was looking at it has the Mother in law of of the century. She bought him a brand new Tohatsu 5 HP outboard today, been out in his canoe and outriggers testing it out. I did not like the Briggs myself.
