Location: minocqua, wi. | i'm surprised nobody has suggested the Yamaha F150 .. first 150 4-stroke built and bullet-proof from day one. i've never, ever heard anyone complain about them and have 2 good friends who run them and have for many years. i got a 175 Merc Pro-XS to max. power on my boat and love it, but it would have been an F175 if Yamaha made one.
seems thought that in that size block most makers are putting out some really good products. good luck with your choice … one thing going for Merc is the 5 and drive program for re-powers vs. the Yamaha 3 year warranty. |
