Old 2 HP Suzuki gave up after 17 yrs.  Looking for replacement.  Anyone
familiar with Nissan OB's of this size.  Any suggestions re: choice of
Nissan, Mercury, Yamaha,etc.  for powering inflatable for relatively
short trips. Light weight and easy starting is important as well as
initial cost.

I have an older 2 hp Yamaha on my  inflatable. When it goes, I'll
probably go electric. Number of people in our marina have done so and
are quite happy (cost, weight, noise, smell) - also useful for
sneaking up on wildlife - feathered and others....
