MessageJust to let you know of a possible option, I bought a new Johnson 4 horse a year ago, & it has a switch allowing either internal or external fuel supply, this may be a feature other mfgs. are offering now. It works good, check if Honda or other mfgs. have this option if it appeals to you.

My boat is an 89 model with the fixed motor mount. I know that the Honda 2hp is all I need and is the bomb BUT, Stockdale Marine has a Briggs & Stratton 5hp for less $$ AND it has neutral, forward and reverse AND an external tank so I can cruise the river all day if no wind. Thanks to anyone who responds. All comments welcome.
