[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 209475, member: 3438"] The EH is a 4-stroke, correct? If so, a tohatsu powerhead. I do like nissan/tohatsu 2-strokes. ;) I think you are going to want the extra 5hp. I just test drove my new to me DMI 1648 with Merc 25hp 2 stoke. I got a solid 26mph gps with 430lbs of people. I am going to try to keep the weight of my mods down as best as I can, but will be happy to keep wot in low 20's. All those batteries, trolling motor, decks, support, and gear really add up. You probably have the equivelent weight of 1-2 persons already. PS: this is my 1st merc outboard, and that shift in the throttle is not what I'm use to. I didn't see, but also didn't read the manual, a "warm-up" switch equivelent (rev in neutral). While it has a large knob for mixture adjustment, not sure how well it will work for my cold weather fishing. [/QUOTE]
