 Non cv model, as tough as any two stroke out there but not as rough. Carby per cylinder like most larger two strokes, run smoother and better on fuel. Cost a bit more than your merc and tohatsu though. They do a twenty and a thirty, pretty sure they do twenty fives too.

yeh dont think tohatsu do a 25 but you will find there 30 is probably lighter than most 25's.

 

My 9.8 is way lighter than the other 9.8's which is why i have it. always a very very simple engine to work on.
