[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 514617, member: 3438"] I like the specs of the Tohatsu 9.9HP. It has one hundred cc more displacement (over 50% more) than the 9.8HP and looks to be the same block as the 15HP. It will have more torque to get on plane than the 9.8HP. If it is a lifting issue, and you are planning to be installing/removing the motor on a regular basis, then the 9.8 might make more sense, but it is only about 10lb difference. Myself, would go with displacement, especilly if it is a "heavy" 12fter, or plan on "heavier" loads. PS: Looks like there are currently two versions of 9.8hp. The 9.8C looks to be EFI and 9.8B is probably carbed. [/QUOTE]
