Thank you for opinion. If I make mistakes, forgive me - I use google translator. I think the most interesting engine is the Suzuki 25 V-twin. It is quiet and has a fantastic sound and is powerful from low revs. 3 thousand and I'm sliding - do you know how quiet it is? It has a low pleasant sound. It is small and compact. I added a power trim to it from Tohatsu 25HP - it is now a fantastic power unit for the most demanding! He also performs as Johnson The second favorite is the Mariner Sea Pro / Marathon 30 HP / 1997. It's a powerful 650cc engine - most 30hp are 500cc. It is very strong and can accelerate the Avon to over 60 km / h. Without any major problems, I put on a power trim from the Mariner 50HP - I'm already old and lazy to get up :-) It has a lubrication system from a separate tank - it's very convenient. Tohatsu 25/30 is a classic two-cylinder simple, proven design straight from a well-known Japanese company - I have 4 of them (from 1986 to 2002) and only the power trim to it could not be matched .... for now :-) (work is ongoing) Strong reliable light - and it can make you smile. Loud unfortunately. It has its drawbacks - it's easy to overheat the top cylinder if you don't care. But parts are everywhere and repairs can be done on the beach :-) Excellent public service documentation! Yamaha ... I don't like it, I don't know why. I also have an old Mariner25 HP by Yamaha - we are not in love. Now I'm planning 30 HP Tohatsu fuel injection 2010 generation
