Got a bonus at work and possibly buying a new outboard for my 23.5. Do you own one and what are your thoughts. I know many discussions have happened about outboards but couldn't locate much on this motor (could be my fault). I will sail on inland lakes around KY and WV, so general motoring but want something to get me out of a pinch and back to dock if my greenhorn sailing skills catch me out too late in a storm. I'm no mechanic so weighing the options. I've heard Mercury is the best but would like some sailor input, not dealer input. Thank you all for you're help! Got my new boat out on the water last weekend for a float test and everything went great (albeit it's the end of the season).

xlnt perfect choice. Tohatsu makes great small outboards. The 6hp sailpro is ideal for your 23 footer. I highly recommend OnlineOutboards.com I've purchased two from them. Free delivery, delivered to calif. from their store in Tennessee in 5 business days. AND... they will have the lowest price.
