    I love my Homelite

    Took the boat out with my $100 Homelite and trolled for 5 hours and used less the a 1/4 of a tank of gas. We did catch 2 fish. Heres a pic of one fish and pic of just one of a 100 beachs on my lake.

    These Bearcats and Homelites are hard to beat.
    Most of them do just that, sip, sip, sip fuel and troll All day.

    I would not give mine up as she does everything I want..

      Yep the economy of these is hard to beat at the price you can get one for, and it's one you can actually still work on without having all the electronic computerized crap.

        Well it looks like this will be my main motor for this years fishing. I think I will have to adjust the valves and that looks like all she needs.

          That is the only thing I don't like about these. This last one I put together took about three tries before I got it right. It sounds good now. I'm pretty sure I will have to do the '65 next, I remember it being slightly noisy the last time I used it.
