Not those prices GA, best I could find in Honda was a 150 with 2000 hrs on it foe 13k, this is new and I've only ever owned Johnson or Evirude motors in the past 5 boats I've owned, was looking at 23/24 k for new 4 strokes

You got a great buy.
Honde would be twice that - that price on the 115 is less that the 90 was from memory
I had the 200 HO - got 10 years trouble free out of it - corrosion got it in the end as it was never flushed and in salt water 365 days on mooring
Did you see what a 150 E-Tech was priced at ??

I had Evin RUDE and the thing shat itself under 100 hrs. Managed to find a second hand part to get it going. That was immediately before the Bombardier took over. Had a good run out of a Mariner (Merc I think). Now have 70 two stroke Yamaha and from new in 2006 it’s done 250 faultless hours. The 8 hp 2 stroke Yammie auxilliary runs 100:1 and will go all day as a trolling motor without issues.
That said, I was impressed with GA’s Honda, even though it’s a 4 stroke.

The 140 was about 17k but all gone in 20"
