They VIBRATE too much.
Like Skipper Dude I've got a 2hp Yamadog. Don't remember the weight but it IS light. And you can lay it down any which way. I have 4 stroke OBs but I prefer 2 stroke.
I have a 40hp Evinrude e-tech (2 stroke) and it's been great but it weighs almost as much as a 4 stroke. Burn's amazingly little fuel ... again no numbers as I haven't kept track and part of my low burn experience is because I run a fairly light aluminum skiff and I run at about 18 knots .. just over the hump.
But if you have a new hybrid car perhaps the propane OB is for you.
I don't see any really compelling reason to buy a small propane OB .. unless you're just the kind of guy that has to have the latest brand new thing on the market whether or not it is actually better than the tried and proven. A mid-size or bigger propane OB would (in my opinion) really have some value worth looking for.
