[Rhodes22-list] Optimum Motor for R22?

[Kenwood _]

Honda all the way! I have a B100 from 50 or so years ago and its just the
right power, its a little bit heavy for the rhodes moving mount but, im ok
with it, just take the engine off for transport usually. Four stroke in a
sailboat is a big plus! I like being able to charge my batteries on the go
