Re: Who makes a better outboard?
HA JOHN
YA YOU ARE WRIGHT IT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH OPINIONS, BUT OPINIONS SOMETIMES ARE BASED ON GOOD INFO. WHEN I BOUGHT IN APRIL OF LAST YEAR THE NEW 4 STROKES YAMAHA HAD JUST COMING OUT, THE EVENRUDE HAS JUST OPENED THEIR NEW PLANT AND HAD NOT MADE ANY 225 YET. YAMAHA HADN’T COME OUT WITH THEIR NEW 250 HIGH PRESSURE 2 STROKE YET. AND I DIDN’T WANT A MERC. I ENDED UP WITH A YAMAHA 225 EFI AND LOVE IT. TODAY IT’S A DIFFERENT STORY FOR ME EITHER THE 225 YAMAHA 4 STROKE OR THE 250 HIGH PRESSURE 250 OR POSSIBLE THE NEW EVENRUDES E-TEC THAT ARE NOW JUST COMING OUT WITH THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTEE AND NO MAINTAINS FOR WHAT IS IT 3 YRS. MIGHT BE THE THIRD OPTION. I WOULD STILL STAY AWAY FROM MERC. BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE REPORTS OF BREAKING, I WOULD ALSO STAY AWAY FROM SUZUKI FOR A FEW REASONS AND I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM HONDA AS WELL, NOT THAT THEY DON’T MAKE A GREAT MOTOR BUT THE COST, SERVICE LOCATIONS AND PARTS AVAILABILITY WOULD BE A ISSUE FOR ME. I KNOW OTHERS ON THIS SITE MIGHT HAVE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT OPINION AS ME I GUESS THE REAL QUESTIONS IS “WHICH ONE WILL YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH” I GUESS IT’S LIKE FISHING YOU NEVER KNOW FOR SURE.
