I'm in the process of buying a 6 HP 4-stroke kicker for my 16'5 boat. My boat with 3 guys and gear weighs about 1600 lbs (main engine is a Yamaha F50 4S).
I've narrowed down my choices to a 2010 Suzuki 6 HP (single cylinder 55 lbs), which has a displacement of 138 cc, and a Yamaha 6 HP (twin cylinder 83 lbs) which has a displacement of 197 cc (same as the larger F8). Both outboards cost the same.
My question is, will I notice any drastic difference in torque and speed between the two at both lower and WOT RPMs? Can't decide!
Thanks in advance for your help.
