I've heard that yamaha has about three times as many dealers as Honda does, which makes it getting serviced easier. Also whenever you go to a country south of the border or in the caribbean every outboard seem to be a yamaha. I figure this is a testament to yamaha, if you live in a somewhat remote region you want something that is reliable or at least is easy to get parts and service for. Plus ya never know when you might need to leave the country!! LOL ;D ;D
