I`ve owned all sorts of boats sporting all sorts and brands of outboards over the years.

I am now running Hondas and am quite impressed, once again, with the bullet proof reliability, simplicity and ease of servicing. These have always been the best motors I`ve run over the years.

You will notice that out here on the prairies, there are many, many, black motors but I`d say that`s because many retailers aggressively market the cheap `package` boat.

You end up with a cheap boat, with cheap accessories, with a cheap motor in an underpowered package that leaves the you disappointed in the long run.

On the coast, I noticed far more Yamahas and Hondas - and I think that`s because many guys out there share the same opinions as I do ...... get something simple, with ample power, thats reliable and bullet proof and you won``t be disappointed.

Don`t get me wrong - some black motors are great - but you get what you pay for.
