I have a 20' Sweetwater pontoon boat and I'm considering either the 60 hp Bigfoot or the 75 hp. I'm told I can only expect 1-2 mph more out of the 75 hp plus the 75 is 140 lbs. heavier. Not sure it's worth the extra money. Any other thoughts? Advantages or disadvantages between them? Any input at all would be appreciated.
 
Personally, I'd go for the lighter motor. Sometime, when you have to heft it about, you'll appreciate that!

That said, I assume the 75 is a 4 stroke and the 60 is a 2 stroke? I so, the gas mileage will be better with the 75. Maintenace cost will be higher with the 4 stroke, however (timing belts, valve adjustments, oil changes, etc.)
