[QUOTE="Pennyless, post: 4237132, member: 55531"] I got a ten foot plastic bass buggy last year as a poor man's way to get on the water. The trolling motor I've been using as the main drive won't get me where I want to go on the lake and back. So after hemming and hawing (and not wanting to put a $600 honda on a $800 boat), I finally rolled the dice and got the newest motor the Chinese had to offer: a Hangkai 4-Stroke, 4 HP outboard. Power rating seems suspect. I put in gear oil, motor oil, and gas and she fired right up. I tighten all the bolts and checked all the seals. Some of the welds don't look pretty but seem solid. Right at $200 in it if you add in the oil. I am taking her out on the water tomorrow to go fishing. If you don't hear from me again, I'll be at the bottom of the lake covered in Chinese-ium shrapnel.
