So I am thinking of buying an Tohatsu outboard and I have 2 choices:
2 stroke 5 hp
4 stroke 5 hp
so which one would you take? The 4s is 100 euros more expensive but at using 2l of fuel per hour less and 1l costing 1euro in 50 hours (2 years in my case) it would repay the difference but cause I have like 20-25 hours a year fuel isnt a big issue
My main question is about reliability and maintenance and over all performance and which one is more quieter and so more pleasant for driving
and cause as I saw on the tohatsu website the only difference between 5 and 6hp is in the rpm and cause the rpm is controlled in this case by the ignition could it be changed so that i get the 1000 more rpm on the 5hp so it will have more power?
