Anyone have a briggs and stratton outboard? Do you like it?

[ZEEK1223]

I just bought a 5hp briggs and stratton outboard. They are air cooled, which will help me with the muddy little lakes that I duck hunt. I have heard mixed reviews about the motor. Some say it only puts out about 3hp. Some say it vibrates the whole boat at idol speeds. Any feedback would be appreciated......

I bought one and it is ok ... Louder than I thought it would be but not LOUD LOUD ... kinda big and bulky - It hangs in the water and likes to catch weeds. But it worked rather well and didn't vibrate that much - I like it. I am going to revise my transom a little so the motor mounts higher so it doesn't pick up weeks so bad.

I just saw a Mercury in gander - it looked a lot smaller?
