I'm new to the ice fishing gig but I bought an Eskimo 51 cc 10". Took it to the Gorge Saturday. Drilled 8 holes likity split. It doesn't turn scary fast but fairly fast. Just carves carves carves and you are through. It seems great so far. I will say that the choke lever is plastic. That worries me a little. I had a major right shoulder repair about a year ago so I was worried about lifting it out of the hole and also starting, it but it was no problem. I like it so far. After 8 holes the gas level seemed exactly the same. I hope I get some good years with it! Eskimo makes a 72 cc and when I learned that I had some buyers remorse but the 51 is plenty.
