yea the china thing is bothering me. I thought i would go with the lesser of evils(japan) and get a yamaha before i found out that in my horepower range the majority of the engine is made in china and then is assembled in china. Its a plant built by mercury in china and they probably good motors but its just the principle of it. I got a buddy who runs a 40hp tohatsu and it seems to be a good motor. Talked to a salesman today at bass pro who was slightly familiar with the big tiller but said to call back tomorrow when his guys in the shop get back in and he'd have me more information and a price. i'll let you know what i find out
