Location: Tinley Park, IL | I am very torn as to what kind of motor to put on an X-190.
Mercury 4-stroke 150
Mercury 175 Optimax
Yamaha F 175 4-stroke
Definitely prefer the 4-stroke over the Optimax. If the Merc 4-stroke came in a 175 it would be a done deal. Currently, I am leaning towards the Yamaha 175. (they are also offering an extra 2 years of warranty on this motor)
I plan on having this boat for 20 years. Obviously, performance matters but hitting a top end speed a couple mph higher is not critical. Reliability, ease of maintenance, longevity, and then performance are what's most important to me.
Any thoughts? Thanks as always. |
