I bought the 2 hp Honda long-shaft for my M-17, and have been very happy with it with almost a year's experience. It weighs only 27 lb, is super-reliable, always starts, and for getting in and out of dock can't be beat. That said, I sail in protected water (Potomac River near DC), and have no experience with it in a heavy sea, but the previous owner kept the boat on Chesapeake Bay for a couple of seasons with an identical engine and recommended it highly.
