The prices Ive gotten(and sell for) are not that much difference between the two. i'm a huge fan of the Yamaha 150, IMO its the best engine in its class available. Suzuki has a good engine, but they have to prove they've addressed the corrosion issue and start honoring their warranties. At one time there were 5 dealers in our area selling Suzuki engines, now there are none, all based on warranty issues and how Suzuki handled them. By comparison, every dealer in this area sells Yamaha(12), 5 sell Mercury, Only one sells Honda(they aren't price or weight competitive, and corrode worse than Suzuki's). Our lone Etec dealer(long time OMC dealer) finally threw in the towel and stopped selling E Tecs(too many issues with them). Personally in salt water, it would be between Yamaha and Merc. One major choice for you is which dealer are you buying from, that will have a big influence on your choice
