Yup, I had a sad affair with one of those years ago....it went by the name "Laserline" I think[sm=red_smile.gif]. It was a great idea in my opinion. A pull start outboard!!! That's what got me hooked. Unfortnately most of the power goes into the ridiculous driveline setup. I never had any problems with it, but it was very low on the "fun" factor. Slow and small.....but I guess I was comparing it to a hotshot with a 7.5. Not much of a comparison. Definitely a toy.
