Welcome to the fleet and Brickyard Cove. Many e 27's, mine included,
use the Honda 2, or the newer 2.3, for an outboard. A bit
underpowered, but light and reliable. Honda wieghs a bit less then 30
lbs and is easy to get off and on the stern. Pushes the boat about 5
mph in flat water and no wind or waves.
I am not familiar with the Tohatsu you mentioned. SDK
