Verdict: The Cruise 2.0R gets a big brother with this 9.9hp outboard. Still powerful and efficient but not cheap.

Verdict: A low-cost and light-weight take on the traditional outboard - just don't forget to take the batteries into consideration.

Verdict: Where keeping the weight down is the governing factor, pass. But if you need extra grunt more along the lines of a 4hp this is a useful, well-designed unit.
