Price vs. Performance=Great outboard
Some facts...because it's air-cooled it's louder than a 4-stroke, but not louder than a 2-stroke. It has a bit more vibration. Its slowest speed is still a pretty fast troll. Those I think are the biggest trade-offs. If those trade-offs are not acceptable to you then cough up the extra $400-600 for a 5hp 4-stroker.

For the money it's a really good fishing engine. I like that I don't have to deal with a water pump repair anymore, so overall it's an easier engine to maintain. Always starts by the 3rd pull (1st pull when it's warm). I like being the only one on the water with American Iron on the transom; it has a distinctive look (I call it the FlatHead) and engine note. Overall, you'll either love it or hate it; that's pretty much the reaction you'll hear or read about it.

Awesome little motor
Great little motor, bought for a small fishing boat that my 2 sons and I use. Pulls us all over the lake with ease. Would recommend for any small boat.
