Re: Your Opinions Please...
This is the Pandora's Box thread.
Here's my $.02:
A great article in the current Powerboat Reports compared Yamaha 150 4 stroke to the new Honda 150 4 stroke. The edge went to Honda. Assumes the same price, better cruising MPG, slightly lower noise, but weighed 10 lb. more. A toss-up depending on your preference and dealer relationship. Can't lose either way.
Other choices include Suzuki 140 4 stroke, which can be purchased with Johnson armor, Yamaha HPDI or Evinrude Ficht 150 Direct injection 2 stoke. Naturally, Mercury has both a 2 stroke and 4 stroke (Yamaha) offering.
The choices are exciting. Personally? For me, in the Upstate/Western New York area, it's Honda or Evinrude. Unfortunately, Evinrude hasn't announced when they'll offer a 150 E-tec. Down south, probably Yamaha. I have a Merc 115 4 stroke that I love, but it's a Yamaha in black clothes.
Confused yet? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
