Re: Evinrude E-Tec E50DPL 2-stroke vs. Johnson HP50 4-stroke
"HP 50 from Johnson."<br /><br />Johnson 50 hp 4-stroke is actually a Suzuki (DF 40) but painted white with Johnson logo on it. It is a very good outboard and it has been on the market for several years so it has some history.<br />

http://www.suzukimarine.com/sr04/df5040/ <br /><br />"But I have heard, that the new E-Tec 2-stroked from Evinrude is a very good motor."<br /><br />Who knows for sure since E-tech is so new on the market? It has not yet proven itself to be a reliable outboard (lets hope this will be the case but it is to early to say for sure).<br />
http://www.evinrude.com/docs/100/0_US.htm <br /><br />"In the last I had a old Mercury 25 PS."<br /><br />Any reason to not buy a Mercury again?<br />There are some fine 2- and 4-stroke 50 hp nowadays from Mercury.<br />Fore example the Mercury EFI 50 hp 4-stroke is very good (the Mercury EFI 60 is basically same outboard but 10 hp more). If You prefer 2-stroke the Mercury 50 Classic could be an alternative also.<br />

How many horsepower is Your boat rated for?<br />Is it a planing boat or semi(half)planing boat You have?<br />Just as a comparison: I have a DC/Bowrider that is 5,73 meter x 2,20 meter and weight 740 kg without outboard, with outboard in my case 190 kg more. My boat is rated for max 150 hp but I use a 115 hp 4-stroke (Yamaha F115). My boat would not come up on plane with a 50 hp outboard.<br /><br />"Can me someone telling, which outboard motor the best is"<br /><br />Best for Your boat - please tell us what boat you have and how many persons usually onboard and how You plan to use your boat normally. Some want to cruise rather fast, some do not even bother to get up on plane and just cruise at low speed most of the time.<br /> <br />"or where I'll get more informations?"<br /><br />Some links above.<br /><br />"About your help I'm very grateful."<br /><br />Sure we will try to help if You can give little more information about Your boat and how you use it.<br /><br />"Sorry for my bad english..."<br /><br />It is fine I think - I understand what you write, and I'm from Sweden so English is not my first language.<br /><br />/Bo<br /><br />"Petrol"
