[QUOTE="DenisD, post: 122987, member: 340"] I just went through the same dilemma a little while ago. My boat is rated for a 20hp but it has a 15in transom, 36in floor and I was set on a electric start four stroke, so I was worried about water coming over the back due to short transom and heavy motor. The 20hp by tohatsu/mercury and the yamaha 20 were something like 15lbs. heavier. I will have to take the motor on and off frequently so the lighter the better. I went with the suzuki 15 for weight, price and I had one on a 1448 mv a while back and it ran great and pushed that boat over 20mph with two people, and was pretty squirley wot with just me aboard. Man, I still kinda miss that boat it was built like a tank #-o Well that's my 2 cents I hope it helps, but you'll be fine with either of your choices. [/QUOTE]
