Well I have a 2 hp 4 stroke Honda that is about 6 years old (Don't
know for sure since it came with the boat). I think it is just GREAT.
It always starts on the first or second pull, it run smooth, quiet,
no blue smoke, no mixing gas and oil, low fuel usage... The only
drawback is the slightly higher weight. Honda made some major
changes in the model lineup this year so they no longer make the
same model as I have. The 2 hp model that I have is air cooled
and I think the new 2 hp is also. I think the larger motors are
water cooled. I would not hesitate to buy another Honda!
