Default Re: What outboard motor?

Otto,
A buddy of mine has an '87 Yam 200 with approx. 1300 hours and it runs like a top. He bought it at 1050 and hasn't had a problem at all. Last year I was talking to a OB mechanic in Chatham and he said the mid- to late-80s Yamahas were the best in his opinion - quality, durability, etc. IMO, run the Yam till it blows, which very well could be 3-4 years down the road @ 100 hours/season.
