Brandon Clark –
Perfect backup motor. Lightweight, easy to carry, and starts easily. A few minor scuffs on the cowling but mechanically sound.
Jason Moore –
Solid and simple. Louder than a four-stroke but delivers dependable power when I need it. Required the usual fuel/oil mix; ran great after a quick tune.
Kyle Richardson –
Plenty of pep for a 4 HP and trims well on my small dinghy. Good condition overall and arrived packed securely. Would recommend for beach launches.
Nathan Foster –
Dependable starter — fired up first pull most times. Two-stroke sound is expected, and performance has been consistent. Seller was honest about condition.
Ryan Cole –
Great little engine for occasional use. Starts well after storage and is straightforward to mount. Good-condition listing was accurate.
Derek Shaw –
Runs strong for short trips and is easy to service. Slightly smoky compared to newer models but otherwise in good shape. Neat and functional as described.
Alex Parker –
Good little two-stroke for my tender. Starts reliably and has enough punch for short runs. Cosmetic condition matched the listing — no surprises.
