I have owned a Honda Accord (449,000 miles with no problems) and two Honda generators that always started with the first pull of the rope. I trust Honda. I assume the boat motors are great based on past experiences with Honda.

Hi! Retiring to the Batesville area in the next month, and can hardly wait to take up fishing again... especially with my grandson. My own grandfather taught me to fish on Tablerock Lake, and at Roaring River State Park in Missouri almost 50 years ago. It is going to be so nice to get out of the congestion and rush of DFW, Texas. I don't have gobs of money, so I'm hoping I can get by with something like a 15' Jon boat (good used one) and maybe spring for a brand new Honda 9.9hp motor. I don't need anything fancy. My other hobbies include flying RC airplanes and photography. I was in the Army first (to piss off my dad), and then joined the Marines (To kiss and make up. He served 28 years... went from private and retired a Major). Yeah, so I had to go through basic training twice as the Marines didn't consider the Army to be the military. 🙃 Dad got the last laugh. He'll be 80 next year. Anyway, looking forward to retirement and Arkansas (Grandfather buried in Searcy). All the best to all of you!
