I couldn't tell you josh. I think the motor might be a little heavy for a 10 footer but it sure would push it fine I would think.

They sure are noisey (air cooled).

Check prices on small four stroke outboards from the major manufacturers. They will be much, much more quiet then the B&S, probably more fuel efficient, and more reliable.

They are good motors but like IBNFSHN said are a little noisey. I used mine on a 12' 1232 G3 Jon and it wasn't heavy at all but may be on the 10 ft.. Mine is actually for sale now. I used it three times and decided I wanted a bigger boat. So my hole rig is for sale. That is a good price on a brand new one.
