When I look around the harbor everyone has Yamaha outboards which makes me think it will be easier to find a decent mechanic. I've always had two strokes and like that there is less maintenance and fewer moving parts.
In short what would you buy?
Let me know your thoughts.

Terry’s stats -
So Last Saturday two of us, 80#’s of ice in the fish cooler, 5 tanks, wet suits, dive weights and assorted sh!t. Ran 27 miles offshore to 38’ off of Bayport hunting for some Gag groupers before the season closes. Kinda’ raggity in the morning blowing out of the north 10 or 12, just starting to white cap.
Pushed the boat off the trailer at 7:30 and slid back on at 5:30. Never shut the engine off all day. Showed 71 miles on the plotter. Turned 3400 making 15 knots going out and 4000 making 24 knots coming home. Burned 14 gallons and a pint of oil (set for 50 to 1) An ’06 motor with about 700 hours on it.
Like Long Tall Sally, “she got everything what uncle Ter need”
