[QUOTE="Tbradley, post: 330824, member: 9883"] Well got'em down to $2756 after tax for the Yamaha 50hp. Motor is priced good but the tiller and jet pump cost are killing the deal, especially since it looks like it may be on the lean side for the load I need to haul. Went and checked the motor out the other day, nice clean motor. They had it setup in on a stand with a tub of water and ran it. It seemed to run great and pretty quiet, BUT they had several Merc 60hp's on the lot with prop lowers, those are nice looking motors, and I'll have to say don't look much bigger than the 50 Yammi even though its quiet a bit heavier. If could get the price down a little more I believe I would take the chance with the 50hp just to save the weight and to have the 2 stroke for the power. Just getting too many mixed reviews on the 50, 80% are saying its too small. A 60/40 is looking better all the time, just not sure on the weight. Would the 60/40 at 268lbs. squat the back of a 1652 much more than the 50hp at around 210lbs? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
