Based on my experience you can't go wrong with either a Johnson or Evinrude. I have an old Clinton 5-hp air-cooled from back in the 60's. It still runs (believe it or not) on those rare occasion that I use it any more. Just shoot a little raw gas in the spark plug hole, pull the crank a few times, and she fires right up. Most of the places I fish any more are small farm ponds and my Minkota electric trolling motor works fine for that. It's easier to fool with and lighter weight.
