Briggs & Stratton 5 hp - 4 stroke

Post by Wrexxer »

anyone ever run one of these?
I'm in market for a kicker as I mentioned in a previous thread and I can get a descent deal on one of these...

They are air cooled and I assume a little louder but I'm not sure



Any info would be great

Stay away. Loud and vibrate like the dickens. It sounds like a Chinook Helicopter... You will not sneak up on anything other than deafness.

Just my 2¢.

Ya I agree,

I had a Honda 2hp 4stroke that was OK for my Big Blue Fin that I once owned, but for my smaller Smokercraft it was too much and too loud.

I once owned a 3hp Merc 2 cyl, 2 stroke that was so quiet and smooth!!! I wish I kept it.... only problem was that it was a 2 stroke.
