Thanks for all the great advice. I think I'll be going with the Honda 40hp w/o PTT (I'll probably have the Gas Strut assists on it to make it easier to lift. The ETEC 30hp looked pretty good, but I'm always a little leery of a first year product. Thanks again and good luck this season. --Al
My Devlin Snowgoose is 90% complete and I need to purchase an outboard, so I'm looking for any suggestions. 40hp vs 30hp considering weight difference of 50-70lbs. Carb or EFI? Power trim/tilt (consideration due to weight). I'll be hunting the lower Columbia River. Thx in advance, --Al
