Would like some input on any one running a 75HP on that type of whaler. Load on board is 2 people (99%of time) 2 batteries etc. I would also like to add that if there is any input on the Tohatsu motor please let me know.

I did a "Site Search" and came up with this one that is still on the first page in Discussions. http://www.whalercentral.com/forum/vi...pid=103907 Here are your current choices. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...ticle_id=5 The most popular 70 hp seems to be the Yamaha 70 @247 pounds There are several posts on this subject also. The lightest 75 to 90 hp is the E-Tec.

Instant starts, quiet operation, sips fuel and oil. A 75 or 90 may give me another 2-3 mph, but also heavier motor and more $$. Edited by Joe Kriz on 01/20/13 - 1:54 PM
