Zundapp
1970-72 Type 304 - 5hp
Guten tag!
From a friend in the AOMCI I was able to pick up this fine little German outboard, a Zundapp Type 304 5hp from the 1970s. Zundapp made scooters and motorcycles and were known for quality engineering. This motor is probably one of the most powerful and nicest singles I've ever experienced, it's also light and compact. The engineering is a little different, but then you would expect nothing less from the Boche!

Comments:
I was really shocked at how nice this little motor runs and how powerful it is. I'd peg it at an honest 5hp, possibly a tad more. It's also amazingly smooth and relatively quiet - especially since it is a single cylinder motor.
This could be the nicest single I've ever run!
Here's a short video inroduction to the Zundapp Type 304:
