Hey there, I'm looking for a nice quiet and clean burning 4 stroke kicker for my 1997 Trophy 2002.
I am looking at the two high thrust models in the title and am wondering your opinions on which one I should get.
2001 8hp high thrust XL Shaft - only 1 hr use so basically never used. Comes with power tilt, electric start and brand new 703 controller. Asking price $2500 CDN.
2018 9.9hp high thrust XL Shaft - bought last year, still looks new. Electric start, tiller model, manual tilt. Asking price $3100 CDN.
Both are sweet but I'm leaning towards the 8hp because of the remote controls and power tilt. I think they're probably similar in weight. The 8hp might be a bit heavier with the tilt? Pretty sure the new 2018 9.9s are lighter than previous models.
Anyways, please let me know your thoughts! I don't have any experience with the Yamaha 4 strokes so am not sure if the 2018s are way quieter an cleaner than the 2001s but am hoping someone can chime in to help me make my decision! Thanks!!
