How come the 5hp Briggs & Stratton outboard was discontinued??

 

We purchased one and love it. We rent small boats on a lake and we can putt around and fish the whole

lake. It was great on gas too, plus no two stroke oil film on the water too. Why is such a great idea gone? This made fishing with a boat very affordable.

I still have mine on a  motor stand in the basement, used it for a couple of years on my canoe.

 

I don't use it anymore but the motor still runs strong.

I don't understand why such a great affordable and dependable product is discontinued?

 

I was thinking of getting another one but there gone.
