have you looked at the Hondas yet? they aren't expensive like they used to be and are lighter and IMO much better motors then most
also Nissan and tohatsu are the same like Johnson and evinrude so compare them to each other before you purchase if that's your choice. in some models there are price differences just in the name.
also I cant understand how you can be deciding between a 40hp and 60hp of different brands? choose the hp you want then compare brands of the same hp so you are doing a fair comparison and get the best fit and deal
offhand I always go with the max hp the boat is rated for since most boats are already under rated for hp.

I thought that was just for nascar?
do all 4 stroke motors have restrictor plates?
does my 2002 Suzuki df40 have one?
