[QUOTE="Tbradley, post: 332465, member: 9883"] Can you tell more about this? I was told that motors with the large pump would be a better choice due to a larger volume of water coming out of the pump vs a smaller amount out of the medium pump. I was looking at the Merc and the Yamaha 60/40 and was told the Merc would be more powerful due to the large pump and also the SS impeller. I'm now looking at the Evinrude etec 60hp and mating with a jet pump due to all the positive info I've heard about it, it's also a 2 stroke and a more compact motor. It's not much lighter than the Merc, but one guy I talked to said he has the Merc and his son has the Etec and the Etec out performs the Merc even though his sons boat weights more than his, both boats are a 1652. I also called four different dealers, they all said the same thing, that the Etec would out perform the Merc, just as quiet, uses probably less fuel too. The only reason they didn't sell more Etec's is cost. [/QUOTE]
