If you going with that small of an outboard as others have mentioned def. get an efi, they will start better and carbed motors in that size will cause you more headaches over the long haul than efi's.
We have a 50 hp Merc tiller on our 'cabin boat' and I've been very happy with it...maybe because it's partly Yamaha under the cowling... ; ) at least I think it is...
You really can't go wrong imo with any of the brands in that size, get a 4 stroke efi and do some price shopping and you'll be set..good luck with the purchase.
Also, we found ours at a local dealer used, with very low hours/almost new and got if for about 1/2 of list price, worth checking around to all the dealers within easy driving distance from you for used ones...can save some dough that way
