Dinghy Outboard Wanted

[MarkA]

A new 10'2" Mercury Airfloor inflatable has left Defender, and will be on my porch next week. Now I need a motor!

I think I want a used Yamaha or Mercury 2-stroke in the 8-9.9hp range. Obviously, weight is a big factor.

Unfortunately, I'm not finding many available in the usual places. Does anyone have any leads? Or other suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark

Much better fuel efficiency...
And, two oars and a six pack weighs a lot less than a motor!

And can also be rigged as an emergency rudder!
