Im new and have a specific dilema. I have read review after review and forum after forum, so i need a central collaboration of info. I need a new outboard for my fibreglass soft chine dinghy. And this is where I am stuck so help me out everyone please..
Was looking in to purchasing a Mercury 6hp 4T or Yamaha 6hp 4T as they are very close in price and wanted to get something quieter than 2stroke and less smoke so i have a comfy and peaceful ride. BUT i hear mixed reviews on noise and vibrations with these.. buzzkill. I mean is the lack of smoke enough to go for with a little vibration, which of the two is quieter though? or are they even that quiet...
Then this guy says he has a few Tohatsu 9.8hp 2 strokes new in storage he would sell me for the same price.. now of course these are all 3 in the same weight category so no debates there. my debate it will the 4 strokes actually satisfy my wants of noise and lack of smoke??..
