He asked me for advise on the two engines. As far as I know they are equally great engines. I told him the only way to decide would be price and dealer proximity. Anyone have personnal info they could add? Thanks in advance

Both engine are good and having a GOOD dealer close by very important. Here is a list of engines in that category even though you don't list the size of boat. http://www.whalercentral.com/readarti...ticle_id=6
