Went to the boat show. Looked at the offerings. Seems that Suzuki have achieved the lighter 60hp motor by using the 40/50 block, under 1000cc instead of their original 1300cc. The bigger block is now used in the 70/80/90 range.The new Suzuki doesn't have a price as yet, but it is expected not to change much.
Nice motor though and should be available in the new year.
Yamaha still were the same and the weight diffference was negligible. Pricing wise the Yammie has not changed much and the dealers are working hard. The new offering from Yammie is a bigger leg and prop if you want for approx a grand extra. Meant for the houseboats and large loads.
The honda seems to be a 40/50/60 block hence the lighter motor. Their technology has changed slightly. Price is till up there though.
The etecs were the same and not much of a deal going there at the moment. They say there might be something around the corner.
For now Yammie might win out. Now I have to sell my current motor privately for the upgrade to take place.
My research shows : The Honda 40/50 is 808cc, the Honda 60hp is a different engine with 998cc The new Suzuki 60 hp is 941cc , while the Suzuki 50hp is a smaller 814cc
