Location: Wisconsin | Thanks for all the info guys, I did not mean to start an argument off any kind.
The boat is a 2006 Ranger 618T with a 90 Merc. stroke, salt water edition. It is a new boat left over and the dealer will not switch motors. For the record I have a 115 Merc on my current boat which I have had for 16 years and have had very little problems with, ( uses lots of gas ). My brother has had a 60 hp Yamaha for a few years now and really likes it. I have used this boat several times for trolling and really like the way the tiller controls are set up. The boat I buy I plan on keeping for many years and do not want to be disappointed.
Everybody has some very good points, and it seems like they are both good motors, maybe just some personnel preferences on the controls. I am still leaning towards the Yamaha.
Thanks,
Tom P. |
