Artemus,
 
I had a recent experience with just that situation. I traded a 2.5 single  
cylinder Tohatsu for a 5 HP Nissan. The Nissan was to heavy to hoist around 
and  mount on the dinghy. The owner even had a sling made up and used the 
boom to  mount it, but it was such a hassle he traded down to the smaller 
engine and is  very happy with it.

Guys,


Has anyone had  experience with the Tohatsu in the 5hp model.  I have
been using the 8hp on MaryJane with stellar results, although need  a
lighter engine for another dinghy-type application.  I  suspect it
could be very suitable for that, even on our R22 in  lake motoring.
Any thoughts?


Georgia  is beginning to thaw, and the lake is full!


Best,
