I bought an Eskimo Z71 about 3 years ago. It's never given me any issues to speak of. They're super easy to pull start. You just have to be careful that you don't pull them too hard... my buddy pulled the cord right out of his because he was pulling it like he was trying to start an old lawnmower. I didn't really need the Z71, but I it was kind of a spontaneous purchase and Wholesale had a deal. I think that there was only a $30 price difference between the Z51 and the Z71. And my buddy had a Z51, so naturally I had to get the bigger one ;-).
Also, I enjoy fishing through a 10" hole. I know everyone has their own opinion on this. Also I heard rumblings of the province putting restrictions on 10" holes because they're worried about people stepping in them??? I'm honestly not sure if there's any truth to that.
