Sorry for the delay in getting back to you guys.
Thanks for the offers.
TK, one of the main reasons my thinking on a newer (not new) motor would be a weight difference than the older counter parts. I have no problems with a reliable motor where parts are still around to repair with if need be.
My boat weighs 100-150lb range and is rated for a 20hp with a 15" transom.
With 2 guys, small cooler and their fishing gear, would a 5hp range motor be capable of getting us upstream against the generation on the Caney or should it be heavier?
