[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 191379, member: 4585"] $1,500.00 just for the pump unit to go on my little ole motor? I only paid $750.00 for the motor itself. I cant justify that! Looks like I will start saving for an Alweld! And getting ready for another project this winter. I would really like to stick with a 2 stroke because of the weight factor. The tohatsu being 35hp at the jet and only 197lbs VS the 4 stroke Merc40 being only 30hp at the Jet and weighing in at a hefty 223. To me there is no question which motor to go with. Especially considering that Tohatsu makes mercs anyway! I didn't know about the Evinrude E-tech 60/40. If it has 40hp at the jet. Then that is what I will be looking for. The Alweld 1542 has a 40hp max. I want to get as close to that as possible without going over. FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife Comission) Does not play around. And that E-tech is right on the money. From what I hear they are great motors too. Light weight, and just as fuel efficient as a heavy 4 stroke. Is that E-tech a 3 cyl like the Tohatsu or is it a 2 cyl? If I can get an e-tech for about the same price as a Tohatsu it would be great! [/QUOTE]
