See what you must know before buying an Outboard Engine. Learn from the mistakes I made when I bought my outboard engine. I wish this video was there when I bought my outboard engine. Shaft length, engine size, engine weight, boat transom.. How do these things come together to get the right outboard engine for your boat? I had no clue, but I do now! And, what engine size do you need to foil board or wakeboard behind your boat? Watch the video so you don't make the same mistakes. I'm here to help!
