The only thing I'm somewhat unhappy with at the moment is the 9.8 Tohatsu. It starts and runs well (has electric start and alternator) but it's a bear to move around. 90+ lbs. I may swap to a 5 or 6hp with an alternator. They typically run around 60lbs. The Tohatsu wouldn't be an issue if it was wise to trailer it with the motor on the transom, but it's not. It's hard on the transom and 90+ lbs way back from the end of the trailer is not good balance for the trailer.
