Outboard recommendations

[BearLakeFishGuy]

I'd recommend a Mercury since they are the lightest weight in the smaller motor categories.  Mercs are avialable in 2.5, 3.5, 4, 5, 6 hps.  The two smallest ones weigh 41 lbs each.  The three larger ones all weigh 57lbs each.  They all have integral fuel tanks (what you want for canoes/tiny boats.  It just a matter of what fits your buget and what size engine the canoe/boats are rated for.  Personally I'd go for the maximum size you can afford.
