re: Best Outboard Motor Company? Prop Discussion Page [3]

The OX 66 is a beast . Yamaha built that one right

Suzuki all day long

I'm a Yamaha man. Have a 115 4stroke w/ Powertech 19p

My dad has the 150 2 stroke and I'm sold on 4 strokes 4 life

Yamaha was part of the reason I bought an Xpress boat over the others that came with Mercury motors

I run a 1884 Yamaha 2 stroke and it eventually starts every time. Can't ask much more from a motor older than most of the people here. I also really like the Tohatsus and aluminum boats. Nice little engines.

I could be a certified Verado mechanic at this point.

for saltwater (all I know) you can not beat a 4-stroke Yamaha

All I know is that on the SKA tour, the Mercury mechanics work all night while the yamaha mechanics sit at the bar and drink with us.

There you go folks.

Dad always had a Merc, now I do too.

I was brought up on Evinrudes though my first 2 purchases wete Johnsons (yes I know, same motor).

After OMC went bye bye I bought a Mercury and I've had decent luck with it.

I was told "in the olden days) if you wanted speed go Merc If you were gonna do a lot of trawling Evinrude/ Johnson. But when Yamaha came onboard all the commercials went Yammies and never looked back.

I think if you take care of them they will all perform. I went Merc Optimax because it was lighter than a 4 stroke with a better hole shot. I think I would look hard at. 4 stroker next go round
