B&S motor opinions
My "trusty" 9.9 Evinrude is history so I am shopping for a replacement.
Since I only need a motor to push my 14' shallow hull Crestliner around a 400 acre inland lake where my cottage is, I am considering the Briggs & Stratton 5HP 4-stroke outboard. Anyone know of its reputation so far? Is this too small even for leisurely use on a small lake? At about $700 it is very tempting vs. $1200 or so for other brands - closer to $2000 for 9.9HP 4-strokes. Any help is MOST appreciated.
