We are looking for a small outboard for our 8' fiberglass dinghy, and wondering about both size and brands. We use the dinghy almost exclusively for the 50 yards or so from dock to mooring, but like to tow it on short trips as well. Looking mostly at 2- and 3.5-hp models.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Already did some research...just cannot beat the Honda 2HP four stroke. Light, quiet, efficient, not too expensive. Nothing looked better.
