I ran my dad's boat on Sunday for a bit powered by the single cylinder POS Merc 5 that came with it. Holy crap is that thing aweful. Loud and shakey. I told him I will only use my wonderful Evinrude 4 from now on.

She runs great. At least your out on the water. Looks like a nice waterway too. Awesome.

The thing I like best about my 7.5: The "no wake zone" signs mean nothing to me!

Sweet motor Kev. Can't tell from the pics, did it have a stainless prop with it? How does the T & T work?
You realize the only problem you will have is the money you save on gas you will likely spend on beer Oh well, such a hard life.

What an awesome little motor...sounds great! One question as I'm not familiar with these low horsepower motors...Where the water is exiting{exhaust ports?} is that the only telltale? I think I would be constantly worrying and leaning over the transom to see what's happening...educate me if you will..thanks!

That's gonna make a great kicker Kev...congrats again.

Thanks Kenny..Not bad for a 38 year old motor..Will paint her up later after some water time..
Yep thats it as far as I know...Others far schmarter than I would chime in but I am pretty sure...Ya, she will serve double duty, on the 14 ftr and the Holiday..
