20hp Outboards. Any Suggestions On What To Buy??

[cbruh1]

Hi there,

While my engine is currently in the shop getting a lookover, I thought I might see what you engines in the 20hp range you could reccomend and why.

I am thinking of the 4stroke merc 20hp cause its got a nice sleek looking cover.

Any suggestions are greatly welcome.


Thanks

Well, while prettyfullness in a cowl is usually a deciding factor, I am sometimes swayed by reliability, and for that I would not go past a tohatsu ,

tohatsu for me too, although not in a four stroke. If a four stroke is your thing, reckon hard to go past a yamaha. Nothing personal in that suggestion, just they seem the ducks guts to me.

Gidday Callum,
Mate, Is it for the boat you have now??
If so I'd be looking for a 15 or so if you fish solo or two up.
But for a 2 stroke you'd go a long way to better the Tohatsu.
Cheers then
Scott

I would get the new fuel injected 20hp 4 stroke from Yamaha. It looks the goods too.

When did Yamaha release a 20hp fuel injected 4 stroke??

I cant seem to find one anyware

The 20 HP Honda is a great engine, worthy of a look.

kind of reckon this is a flip the coin thing, almost any motor in that range is fine, I went for a Merc when I got mine (a few years ago now) only because of the gear shift on the throttle thing, don't think the motor is any better or worse than any other.

Cheers fellas,

Well thats given me a bit of food for thought. Still only early stages. Will definatly look into the tohatsu abit more.

Thanks again.
