135-150-175 Evinrude are the same, 135-150 mercs are the same. 150-175-200 yamahas are the same, 150-200-225 suzuki 2 stokes are the same, 150-175 johnsons are the same. In order from lightest to heaviest the johnson are the lightest, then Evinrudes, then Mercs, then yamahas, then suzuki is the heaviest. If you decided to go with a company always get the highest power in the class. If you are going to buy a 135 Evinrude you may as well go for the 175 because the only difference is the power and the computer program.
