Don't count out the 140 OMC, it is one STRONG 140HP. I know my 140 on my 19' BOWRIDER outran a guy in a 18 GLASSTREAM with a 175 EVINRUDE on the back, and to top it off I had 5 people in the boat to him being by himself. Needless to say he came over scratching his head looking at my boat when I pulled up on the bank wondering why my engine was so short.

Damn this is hard... Speaking for myself, I have a 1991 200hp Merc on my Cruisers, and a 1991 200hp Johnson on my V. With the exception of the heat censor problem on the Merc that I mentioned in a different post I've really never had any problem with either engine. Both are strong, reliable units. I've never had a Yamaha except as a motorcycle, so I really can't comment on them other then to say that everyone I know that has one swears they are the best thing since striped bass. My point being that IMHO there are good and bad in every brand of motor. If you don't abuse your motor and you make sure it's well maintained it should last you for a long, long time.

 , but they still run good stock. I ran a V-20 center console with one that would leap on plane and ran mid 30's if not close to 40 when you hammered it.
