I am thinking on picking up one of these little guys. Only concern I have is the single cylinder and how they idle down. The 2 HP honda weighs like 29 lbs which is a lot lighter than most everything out there. I figure an electric and second battery would weigh more. Mostly looking to do the walleye troll at very slow speeds. I currently have an old Evenrude lightwin 3 HP which is two stroke and it idles like a dream. Problem is this is a short shaft and I need a long shaft for the new boat. Forward only and no nuetral is a bit of a hassle, but I am willing to deal with this to save weight. <br /><br />How much you looking to get for this motor? I might take it off your hands.Originally posted by crazy charlie:<br /> Its commonly referred to as proper "punctuation" .

Fished out of a 300 lb boat with two guys last week. 68 lightwin 3HP on a 57 Crestliner 14' - 5 MPH top, but more improtantly, trolling speed of almost zero for the early season fish that like to look at a worm awhile before they eat it.Originally posted by Navigator:<br /> The Honda 2 will idle down smoothly even though its a single cylinder. Remember, its intended to be used on light weight Jon boats or Canoes. If you try to power a 400 lb boat, it will move it, just dont expect whiplash
