Stay away from all outboards..... Buy some oars, they are so much cheaper to service...
Boats are expensive bro....no matter what engine you get... You can get duds with any make or model, no matter what anyone says....
But yeah, Evinrudes are good....as i'm sure huey will tell you... I also have a 150 Evinrude, and i can tell you, they live up to their name at times, quite "rude"... But all in all, fairly reliable, they just get expensive when something goes on them....as all outboards.
