Honda 130 VS Johnson 140

[JZesbaugh]

I had my mind made up that I wanted a Honda 130 4-stroke on a 20 ft Hurricane but my dealer is really pushing me toward the Johnson 140 4-stroke. He handles both so I don't know if this is a good idea or a matter of "dealer incentives." Anybody have any thoughts re: Honda vs. Johnson?? Thanks.

Ahoy, Z-Z Prop.<br /><br />Those are both very good engines. Both are state of the art technology. I know of no problems with either.<br /><br />The Honda weighs about 100lb more and makes about 10HP less that the JohnnyZuki.<br /><br />I also would expect the JohnnyZuki to cost a bit less.<br /><br />I have a Suzuki DF70 and it is a wonderful engine.<br /><br />Based on those bits of info, I would go with the JohnnyZuki.<br /><br />Good luck.
