It will be interesting to see how loud it will be. I can live with it being a little loud just running into the sturgeon holes. That one trip I do is 16 miles round trip so any speed increase will be nice. I am keeping the Coleman for trolling. That motor runs slow enough to troll the speed I like.
I don't know about fumes. I guess any gas motor is going to have them. This one exhausts under water like most older motors did[crazy]. That will keep it down some what. [

The water pumps on these are plastic. I have read that they do go out once and a while. A friend of mine has one and he has to replace it every five years of so. He trolls with it so he puts a lot of miles on it.
I got very lucky with this motor this motor has neutral and forward. This motor turns 360 so I can turn the motor and pull with this one like I do with the Coleman.
I don't know if it will be strong enough to pull Jacob and his boat the 16 mile trip. Right now my 2.6 just barely got me through the tricky spot. Not many boats can make it through that spot right now.
Heck no I don't work for Skookum Products. I don't have that kind of voo doo to arrange anything like that. But for Top quality boats that are so good that the rest of the industry copied them. All a person has to do is go to

50 year warranty on the frame 15 year warranty on the pontoons. And 100% satisfaction you got the best boat on the river.[][]
