Just sold my '03 5hp B&S. My experience with the motor is it's loud and vibrates viciously. Build is cheap which correllates lower price tag. Mines had a cracked cowling, broken choke shaft when I bought it. I like the fact that it's a cheap 4 stroke, no manual oil/gas mixing, starts easily, easy to operate, and low CA emissions :LOL2:. Easy to find parts online. I got mines used for $300 and sold for $400. So you can't go wrong with it; just don't overpay, but you already knew that. Good luck.
