Honda or Yamaha

[spareparts]

Reel, i went back and did some internet shopping on motor prices, with exception of some 150 Yamaha carb motors, I was suprised to find the price differences wern't all that great, so i would have to rethink my previous comment about purchasing a carb or efi for the greater price savings( unless I needed a 150 Yamaha)
These are the prices I found at one internet dealer,
150 HP
Yamaha carb $7500
Yamaha 4 stroke EFI $10,000
Mercury EFI 9,300
Merc Opti 10,000
E-Tec 150 11,000
Suzuki 150 4stroke 9000
175 HP
Yamaha 175 HPDI 11,300
Merc 175 Opti 11,500
Suzuki 175 4stroke EFI 10,000
E-Tec 175 12,300
200 HP
Yamaha 200 4 stroke 13,000
Merc 200 EFI 11,800
Merc 200 Opti 12,500
Suzuki 200 12,000
E-Tec 200 13,300
200 E-tec HO 14,000

I don't know the particulars to these engines, i was just suprised to find the prices for all these engines to be in the same range(with exception to the 150 Yamaha), all above what i can afford! I'll stick to my old 200 carb that came with the boat for $2500
