Thanks all for your prompt advice! I went for it, now proud owner of a 2015 Honda 2.3 with maybe 25 hours on it for under $600. Owner used it on a J70 which he is selling as they are moving to Newport, he must be a pretty good sailor as he is looking forward to crewing on Camanche after the refit 😀
And yes the "water cooled" was a typo, I am aware that it's noisy but air cooled...

>> My Yamaha 4HP 4 stroke died, something about oil leaking out. A J70 owner is leaving the area and has a Honda 2.3HP for sale - anyone have experience with these or the older 2HP? It seems a bit noisy and underpowered, but it's watercooled and light - and not too dear.
