I purchased this motor back in October of last year, and I finally get to take it into the water now in January. It has been a busy YouTube season for me, so I want to thank you all for your patience and understanding. Now, the motor, Holy Eternal Flame!!!! It freaking rocks!!! And I am not saying this just because. I am saying because it is awesome. Super smooth while revving it, it is noisy, but does not shake your hand. During idle it does shake a bit, but it is not uncomfortable to hold the tiller. The most impressive thing of all about this motor, you see, I used to own a 9.8hp Tohatsu 4 stroke, that it cost me about 2,100 smackaroons, while this Hangkai only cost me 1,000 schmickels "I'm trying to be edgy imitating Rick&Morty quotes". Now, here's the kicker, my old 9.8 was about 90 pounds or so heavy, the hangkai is about 60 pounds, just like my 6hp Tohatsu, but it's pumping a lot of power, and I can't believe that something this light can perform the way it does. I am going to make a second video review when I camp again on one of the islands, hoping the waters are not too rough, because I want to see how much gas it uses. I could not do that with just 10 miles ran. Final thought, I just can't believe a motor like this can be this good for the price I paid. 10/10 in my opinion.
