Tyler Brooks –
Good little two-stroke — starts reliably and has enough pep to get my dinghy on plane. Neat cosmetic condition and no leaks. Easy to carry and mount.
Mark Evans –
Solid performance for the size. A bit louder than a 4-stroke, but that’s expected. Runs strong with the recommended fuel mix and looked well-maintained when it arrived.
Sean Mitchell –
Dependable and simple to service. Took it out all season with no hiccups. Seller’s description was accurate — neat condition and ready to run.
Ethan Parker –
Perfect backup motor. Quick starts, responsive throttle, and surprisingly lightweight. Cosmetic finish was neat with only minor scuffs.
Lucas Wright –
Plenty of low-end torque for towing a small tube. Short shaft fits my shallow launch perfectly. Minor surface wear on the cowling, otherwise very neat.
Brandon Foster –
Runs strong and starts easily even after sitting. Fuel mixing is straightforward and performance is consistent. Condition was neat and packaging was good.
Cameron Reid –
Lightweight and portable — great for beach launches. Noticeable two-stroke sound but solid acceleration. Clean, neat condition as advertised.
Nathan Brooks –
Great little outboard — reliable starts and good top-end for a 5 HP. Neat cosmetically and mechanically; would recommend for a tender or small skiff.
