Default Suzuki DF4 vs. DF6 (or maybe another choice, the Tohatsu MFS4BS).

any last minute observations, criticisms, etc. on what I hope to be
our final choice so we can quit agonizing over this outboard thing and
get out on the lake where we belong. Thanx again.

Jay, I'm sure the Tohatsu will move you V14 along at 5 or 6 knots, it
won't get up and plane, you won't be doing any water skiing. Compared
to the Briggs, it'll be quiet. It will be very easy on gas, I think
it's a good choice. FWIW, I have a canoe, 12ft aluminum punt, 14 and 15
ft runabouts, Evenrude 2Hp, Merc. 2.2., Scott-At****er 5.5, Evenrude 6,
Johnson 8, Johnson 60, Merc 140 I/O, so I do have some experience.

Cheers
