I have been looking at 6-8 hp motors. What do I look at to compare products? RPM? Displacement? Gear ratio? I have been camparing Nissan and Mercury. Thanks.

Re: Which Portable recommended?

What do you need it for? Do you want a 2 stroke or 4 stroke? New or used?

Re: Which Portable recommended?

What is the intended use of this product?<br />If you want a tender motor for a small inflatable then a 2hp two stroke would be fine. Should you want an auxilliary for your boat then you would need to look seriously at bigger motors. The main question to consider when compareing 2 stroke to 4 stroke is a combination of price and ability. Balance these well and you'll be a winner. Good luck mate!<br />Ross
