In started out with Johnsons and liked them fine.

Then moved to Mercury and even though it was always dependable, I just never like the way they started and stuff?

Then I got the Yamaha, I will tell you I think I liked that motor more then any other I have ever had!!

But Yamaha is way up there in price and they will not let you install them on your own or you viod the warr!!
For this reason I think they are for the person with lots of money!!

I repowered a friends boat 2 years ago with a new Johnson and he has bee very happy so far with no problems. And wasn't to bad priced, 115 hp for $6500

For me if I had the cash it would be Johnson or Yamaha, don't no much about the rest out there?

But for now what ever I can afford will be what gets put on there? But no Merc I can tell you that!
