Lehr 2.5 and 5 hp outboard motors run on propane

[Dick G]

I saw a feature on this morning's news about Lehr propane fueled outboard motors. They can be run on a small 16.4 oz Coleman canister or from a larger grill size tank. The small canister gives one hour of running time. The engines start in any weather, run pollution free, have no carburetor, don't gum up and need no winterizing. Sounds ideal for small watercraft like the Pond Hopper or a john boat. The 2.5 hp does cost $1,000 and the 5 hp is about $1,600.
