I have a 12 foot Valco and am running an old 8hp, 2 cycle Evinrude. The motor is beginning to need maintenance more often than I'd like. I'm thinking about switching to a 4 cycle Yamaha. The 6hp Yamaha matches the weight of the Evinrude, and weight is a factor because I sometimes cartop the boat. Does anyone know how the performance of the two motors will compare? When I am by myself, I can get the boat up on plane or can troll down very nicely. I would want at least the same performance from of any replacement. Thoughts?
