[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 207207, member: 4585"] Check again..... The Mercury is a 4 stroke 40hp powerhead that only puts out 29hp at the pump. Its a 4 stroke and weighs 267lbs dry..before you add engine oil https://www.mercurymarine.com/engines/jets/fourstroke-jet-outboards/ The Tohatsu is a 2 stroke 3 cylinder 50HP powerhead that puts out 35hp at the pump! And it ONLY weighs 196lbs. No engine oil to add to a 2 smoker either!!!! https://www.tohatsu.com/outboards/35jet_spec.html 2 stroke instant power, 5 more ponies, Cheaper, and its 71lbs lighter. My choice would be the Tohatsu! No way would I pay more for less power and 71 extra lbs! I have been looking at troutt and sons for a long time dreaming of a jet boat. Im pretty sure they have Mercs on most of thier boats. Which means they are a merc dealer. Which means they are going to try to sell you a merc. If your worried about Tohatsu quality.. All Mercury and Nissan outboards under 35 hp are made by Tohatsu. The reason the Jet doesn't fall into that category is because its actually a 50 hp motor. Merc and Nissan put thier name on them so thats good enough for me. [/QUOTE]
