Briggs and Stratton Outboard

[HalloweenBuck]

Anyone have used/been around the new Briggs and Strattons? They seem pretty affordable for a new motor and want to have other peoples opinions.

Thanks

Are those air cooled? I have never liked air cooled boat motors, nothing but problems if you ask me...

What size are the ones you are looking at? What is the price?

you will not find any parts for that motor if it takes a dump and if you do they will have to order them. I would go with a used merc,johnson,yam, ya know somthing you can get parts for even when your up north.
