I went and looked at this one.
That is one of those V4 gas suckers.
It said it also comes with Two 22 gallon gas cans.
It would need that just to get the same range as my little bearcat engine does with 4 gallons.
Sorry if anyone has that type of OMC but I did my time with one and Never again. It comes with a bad marriage contract with the Stealership too.
How much fuel does it really use one might ask.
Take a 55 gallon drum, punch a 1/4" hole in the bottom and watch the fuel run out. Thats your fuel mileage.
I guess what I am saying here is, I would not take even the best running one, for free.

Ah, if it is low fuel usage you are looking for, use the V-4 for an anchor and move the boat around with the kicker!There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness.":shocked4:
