My vote goes to the QD also. I’m a big fan of any of the OMC 10hp motors from 1949 thru 1963 Johnson or Evinrude. The early QDs were a bit less refined,.than the later ones, but any from ’55 on are very civilized and wonderful motors to run and to work on. They are also very capable of trolling. The 10s are some of the best idling motors around. This one was my regular runner this summer at our cabin. Lots of lake laps and family boat rides with this one this year and it is a joy to run even if it’s not much of a looker. It pushes me, my wife, and daughter (8 y.o.) in my Sea Nymph 14R at about 16mph or a little more. My alone at around 18-19 mph
