Bolt on 60 carbs and intake and you have a 60 hp motor without touching the internals and it makes more torque than a 45 cubic inch motor.

Both are fine motors, but the mercury has more potential.

Thanks Scott, I'm gonna end it here before it gets outta hand and becomes a pissing match here. Some people are hardcore merc people but from my research I think maybe a tohatsu can probably produce more then a merc. This I heard from people who are hardcore racers that race mercs who have even said it may come to a point they will switch to a tohatsu because they produce more to win races
