Made in China by Hyung.
Cheap, not sure about reliability.

They are water cooled.
15 hp was ~$2195.00
Never seen them before.
I figured it would be Japanese made.
Not sure if I would want a Chinese made product.
The Chinese have figured out cheap, but they don't know what quality means yet.

You know, I have a little paddle boat I got with the lake house I bought. It is a Coleman "Motion 5" model. One thing I found out about Coleman. Except for camp stoves, lamps and coolers they don't make or stand behind crap. They remarket everything. In this case the boat is made by Pelican in Canada and I have to go to them for parts, and believe me they are not cheap. If this outboard is anything like the "Coleman Paddle Boat" I would avoid it like the plague. It is going to be a hassle for parts everytime you want spares.
