    Viking 5hp at Eaton’s in Montreal… piece of junk with a head gasket leak…. I had issues with it for 2 years

    took it back on my 2 years !!! Eaton’s warranty … they took it back 😯

    and I traded up to a 9.8 Merc for an extra $50 or so as I recall ….. Eaton’s had started selling Merc’s

    The 9.8 lasted years till I went to a used 50 Merc for a used ski boat. Sold that 9.8 for $400 years later and the new owner never had issues
