[QUOTE="Speyfitter, post: 286474, member: 10122"] I'm gong to get a 25 HP for my new boat - that is not disputed, but I'd also like to get a small single cylinder outboard as well for back up/trolling power (e.g. kicker). Something that can troll down quite low for certain applications and take some hours, OR, use on lakes with horsepower restrictions (we have lots of 10 HP or less regulations on some trout lakes). So I've always heard that the vibration on single cylinder outboards is somewhat bad, but HOW BAD? To me it always sounds like it's sort of subjective aka how much can you tolerate and it varies from person to person. Also, how does it change as these smaller single cylinder outboards rev up and down? Is it bad at idle speeds and the vibration is better at higher RPM's? Have you found or seen certain single cylinder outboards that are better than others with vibration? Is it really not that bad but people just like having something to b*tch about? Without having never seen one or used one I guess I can't say. If you own one or have expeirence tell me what you've used or seen as well. Also, some say they are noisier - how much noiser than your average twin or more cylinder engine? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
