those new 4-srokes up to 6hp are just blenders. they rev like shit. ok, the old 6hp 2-strokes 2 cil are more heavy but they have power. 8hp and more 2-stroke wins with power en weight.
some of the new mercs are build in china but evinrude-johnson were NEVER build in china i have a 2001 johnson 150hp the last model ever buidl and in HUGE letters on the air filter in say made in USA
i have a 15hp 1981 evinrude that "while running" went totaly underwatter (sunk john boat). i flipped my john boat back over put gas to it and she fired right up no problem and pushed me back home. lets put a jap made motor underwatter and see how it does. haha
evinrude, johnson, and mercury are the best outboards.

Tohatsu engines are the best built! I own 2 of them and they are quieter and more fuel economical than my old Johnson.

And you show clearly just how much you do not know about what you're talking about.
Put your engine on a scale - it weighs 78 lbs.
The 6hp Tohatsu is 55 lbs.
I'm glad you're happy with your heavy antique that uses 3X the fuel and pollutes like mad.
