If you're looking for a good, small lightweight outboard motor, for a great price, I recommend the Nautic Outboard Motor 2.5hp model. If you enjoy recreation or are in circumstances where you can't or just don't want to carry around a heavy outboard motor, Nautic Outboard Motors offers a 2.5hp outboard motor that is both engine and leg water cooled and weighs a mere 18 pounds. The Nautic outboard is about half the cost of a small Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki, Johnson, Nissan/Tohatsu or Evinrude outboard and weighs alot less than most. The 2.5 Nautic outboard motor has a push latch engine cover, CDI ignition system, tilt, under water exhaust and much more. This little outboard is quieter than the Tanaka Cruise 'n Carry or Sear's Game Fisher outboards and ideal for canoes, small inflatables or small boats. I hope you find this information helpful if you're in a situation like me where you need a good light outboard motor and an electric outboard motor is too inconvenient or just isn't enough power.
