Saving to buy a new 2019 20 HP outboard tiller with electric start and power tilt for my 14ft aluminum v-hull. My intent has been to go with Tohatsu. Honda runs about $500 more. Is Honda worth the extra $500? Does anyone have experience to help my decision.

Welcome to Iboats,

For me Tohatsu all the way, lots of distributors to buy on line from, huge spare parts availability, parts and service are less expensive. A well cared and serviced engine will give years of boating fun..

Happy Boating

Only buy from a local source where you can take it for warranty repair and parts if needed. You cant get parts warrantied online.

I can only speak from my area. We have only 1 Honda dealer. He is good, but nevertheless......

We have about 10 Mercury dealers. All are good.

Mercurys are Tohatsu.....nuff said.
