[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 249098, member: 7376"] The 20 HP Mercury 4 stroke IS a Tohatsu. Exactly same outboard, different decals. And depending where you look, different price. Performance difference-there will be a little difference. I run a 20 Tohatsu (exactly same as Mercury) on a 1448. Top speed fully loaded is around 22-23 mph. It's not a hotrod but it sips fuel and runs clean. If it were mine, I'd run a Yamaha but since I didn't pay for it, it is what it is. The biggest difference is fuel usage. Had to drop from 6 gal tank to a 3 gal as the fuel would get stale before it ever got used up in the 6 gal tank. That also helps offset the weight difference between the 25 2 smoke and the 20 4 stroke. [/QUOTE]
