I've got a 14 foot aluminum Duroboat that is light, about 200 pounds, and planes easily. I love it. I would like to get a 4 cycle outboard. Have been using an old 2 cycle Merc 20 HP that is giving up the ghost. The Duroboat manufacturer rates the boat for 15 to 25 HP. About 100 - 110 pounds would be about right. What are the pros and cons of Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and Tohatsu. The use would be exclusively salt water and summer only. Thanks

I have a 14 ft polarcraft jon rated for 25 hp or 150 lbs. I bought a new 15 hp honda for it, I am thinking about trading it back in and get an electric start model.I doubt you could go wrong with any of the new 4 strokes....reguardless of the brand. <br />The reason I chose honda was that the engine only wieghts 92.7 lbs.
