[Rhodes22-list] What outboard would you buy?

[Goodness]

I would go propane or electric since you dont motor long distances.
Gas motors do better when ran frequently and long enough to get hot.

I have heard good things about propane outboards and see that there are now better electric outboards.  I don't travel far from the marina when I go out.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I presently have an older Mercury 9.9 hp which has given me a lot of trouble this year.  The carburetor was replaced and it ran perfectly for about 3 outings and then reverted to its previous problem of idling erratically and stalling easily at slow speeds.  Made docking a little nerve wracking.  The mechanic at my marina has looked at it many times and can't seem to figure out what the problem is.
