early reports show gear case issues with the V8's. Shift actuator issues with both V6 and V8, recall and update already underway. I'd give them a year before purchasing. the Mercs are report-ably faster than the Yamaha's by quite a margin. Suzuki 4 cylinders tend to repower better than the Yamaha's on heavier boats as their increased displacement makes a ton of torque(about 40 lbs heavier in weight as well). The Yamaha 4 cylinder 200's have been a bit of disappointment in performance
