While what each sailor and location sailed in will dictate their outboard motor preference, I absolutely love my Yamaha 8 hp electric start 4 stroke. This motor came new with my #32 M17 s/v cerulea when I bought her in Port Townsend in 2008. The previous owner replaced the 6hp he had with this motor. Currents be it ocean, river, or long large mountain lake do not tax forward progress in the M17. BTW mine is mounted in the transom cut out with no issues.
