Outboards are a beautiful things... if I had an island property there is no doubt I would have at least one boat with an outboard..... I miss mine sometimes... of course the fact that it was a 1974 Merc Tower of Power that I couldn't find anyone with the skills to keep running is another story.....but after an estimated 1200 to 1400 hours I suppose it deserved retirement.....
