I'm looking for a 9.9 hp for an aluminum boat. This will be used for fishing, getting to fishing spots, towing small water skiers, etc. It will be used 95% on the salt water. I'm sticking to 9.9 (or lower) to avoid the licensing requirements. Low maintenance is a big factor. Any suggestions? Two or four stroke? Any brands to stay away from?

Thanks for any advice.

Oh, yeah. When I decide what to buy, where should I go to buy it? I'm looking for low price, but just as important is good customer service--someone who backs their products.

Thanks again,

Andrew
