BIG Question - replace Yamaha 150 HP with Honda 225HP

[cterrebonne]

of the 225's if you were dead set on a four stroke the honda would probably be the last choice. reason being there lower units arent up to par with the rest of the boys. main reason, plastic oil slinger and major issue with part interchangability. besides that head rebuilding and valve maintenence are a sinch with the hondas. also a yammie 150 stroke is a dog just like its fourstroke cousin. i ran both if then several times. if you would put a real 150 by either of the north american made companies you would see a big difference. the only thing you would have to change would be the wiring harness. since you can convert the box to go to either brand with 33 series cables.
