The Motor Guide R-3 is in my opinion a better motor then the Watersnake. It has more forward and reverse speeds and seems a little tougher in it's manufacturing not to mention a little more thrust. It's also the same price.
It also fits thru the Mirage Drive hole with the two blade prop and a mount made from Hobie's new cassette.
Steve...why did you go with the watersnake motor?
