I personally have not Run one myself but have talked with many that have and say they love them, I Duck and Goose hunt and find myself in places where it requires me to be able to clean the intake out easily so I run outboards, the only thing I will add is make sure he BUYS THE STOMP GRATE!!! This will kick most if not all the rocks out of the intake when he loads it up. Unless you being the really good buddy don’t mind Jumping over board and cleaning it out by hand when you guys plug it up. More power is better so buy the 200, you don’t have to run it wide open but it sure is nice to have it when you take the whole gang one day.

Tight lines, Bud.
