Portable outboards

Looking to buy a new or almost new 8 or 9.9 jon boat motor. Any recommendations on what to buy or more importantly not to buy.

Just my 2¢ worth: Honda 8/9.9 models are the premium choice and Tohatsu 8/9.8 are probably the best values and I think the lightest weight at around 80 pounds. If you look at small dinghies on big boats in South FL those will usually be the two most common ones.

Yamaha makes a good 9.9,I think lowcountry marine in Walterboro has some, or even Seels Outboard.

Double D.

Yes, Tohatsu makes everything 30 hp and down I believe it is . They also make Nissan outboards.

I have a 25 Tohatsu & love it. Had it since 2013 & have had zero issues with it.
