[QUOTE="1960 yellowboat, post: 468903, member: 24593"] they both look good the 4 may be the smallest you want to go and you're probably have to put a little work into it. If the seller can start it up even for a few seconds, DO NOT run the motor out of water. You will destroy the impeller in the water pump. The 9.9 gets my vote since it comes with a tank [ $60 new] depending of course on your budget OOPS I misread it, the 4 comes with a tank. either way never run a motor dry. I checked Marineengine.com and the 4 seems to be a 95 or96 twin cylinder good lil kicker. A carb rebuilt kit is around $15 so that ain't bad. If it's going to be mostly just you then the 4 should do nicely. [/QUOTE]
