I will chime in and agree with what most have already sadi here. I have a Hacker 9xl and really like it. Of course I got it used from a boat guy for about $110 so thats why I got it. I wouldnt have spent $300 on it thats for sure.

I also have Lehner, Neu and Feigao motors to comare it to. Its a HUGE step up from a Feiago based motor. Not even a comparision IMO. They run with about the same power as the Feigao, but much, much cooler. The Lehner and Neu are the cream of the crop though. If you are considering spending that much go the the Neu or Lehner for sure. If you run across a deal on a Hacker they are for sure solid motors and a giant step up from the low end feigaos.
