Briggs and Stratton Makes great motors. This air-cooled 5HP is very loud though. So much for peace and quiet of fishing. I would just be patient and buy a 10-15 HP Johnson, Evinrude, or Nissan Marine (or Tohatsu). It would be well worth it. A 5 HP is pretty slow too, for a 12 foot 160 pound boat + equipment.
