Bob...I didn't recommend that he buy a 60 or any motor for that matter. And, I was only comparing my 60 to a 50 because it was on the same exact plane. I am only recounting a true situation with a DL50 so that folks realize when they have their DL50 at the field, or any Chinese import for that matter, AND its the FIRST gas motor, besides the people at the field and this forum, where do they turn. Hopefully DLUSA---- if thats where they purchased it....otherwise they are up the creek and not only do they have no paddle, but theres a gigantic hole in the bottom of the boat.

Now, if you have experience with a gas motor, then a Chinese import might not be as big of a gamble. However, if this is your first motor, its a mighty big limb to climb out on in my opinion. Too many folks buying gas motors that have never even taken a carb a part.
