[QUOTE="bean210, post: 380790, member: 5697"] I have considered the 9.8 tohatsu. and the 8hp too. both good choices. the 6 is about 27lbs lighter. i am trying to shave off as much weight as possible, because my grandson is a few months away from getting his drivers license , and has been claiming my truck since he was 12. if I go anywhere else, I'll have to tow it with our 4cyl car. I want to keep the total package under 1000 lbs. i'll knock off 175-200 lbs with the engine swap, removing cranking battery, getting rid of the gas tank and console and controls. actually, if it wasn't for the lack of reverse, I would even look at the 3.5hp tohatsu. I have been using my electric trolling motor 98% of the time. :D [/QUOTE]
