Another vote for the 2.3 Honda; I used one as the aux on my Hunter Formula One and when I sold the boat I kept the engine. Light, air-cooled, and well engineered (mild steel fasteners excepted); the only bugbear was the auto clutch which took a little getting used to.
My last boat was bought with a Mercury 4hp 4T (rebranded Tohatsu I believe); could never get it run properly so it was replaced with a new Honda BF5 which was a much higher quality item and performed superbly. The price difference between the Hondas and (in my opinion) the also-rans doesn't seem large these days...
Cheers,
Dave
