Reliable starter motor for short trips. Louder than modern four-strokes but still performs well. Cosmetic finish was neat and seller packed it carefully.

Plenty of pep for its size. Quick acceleration and easy to handle on the transom. Required the usual fuel/oil mix, runs strong and looks tidy.

Strong little engine with good top-end for a 6 HP. Noticeably louder and smokier than modern engines, but still dependable. Seller was transparent about condition.
