Thanks for all the replies, I think I have made up my mind and will be going for a Mariner 115 LS mounted on a stainless pod as I’ve made in the splash well on the boat for that was my original plan. My enquiries have been somewhat fruitless with some suppliers saying late summer for a delivery, I think the days of popping to the shop and buying anything are disappearing fast but think I will use Bursledon outboards for the purchase. The technology in a new engine is what has swayed my decision along with the cost of a 10-15 year old (unknown) engine for just over half the cost didn’t seem great value for money either. Updates to follow as they happen.
