[QUOTE="Molokai, post: 422654, member: 21629"] Looking at the same hp class for my boat and with most brands there is a significant weight increase from the 20hp to the 25hp. Typically in the 50-60lb range. Seems to negate the extra hp but a lot of the manufacturers 30hp weighs the same as the 25hp so why not go with the 10hp increase vs. the 5hp? I think im going to go with the Suzuki 20hp at 108lbs and has an ignition system which requires no battery. I could go with a much lighter 12v battery for my electronics. my only concern (small) with the Suzuki is it's lack of oil filter. But hey...it takes 1 quart of oil...not very expensive to change more often. :) [/QUOTE]
