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.
