4. Four stroke is better than 2. Yamaha is better than Honda which is
better than the others.

My 20hp Honda 4 stroke is the most high maintenance, expensive,
(relative to hp) and cantankerous outboard I've ever owned. And in my
lifetime I've owned quite a few from 5hp to 225hp, of various makes.
I should have bought a 25hp Yamaha 2 stroke instead.

Usually nothing but praise for Hondas, except some clogged jet carb
problems.
Doesn't Yamaha have a fuel injected 25hp 4-stroke?
I can't really see dealing with carbs since EFI seems to have worked
the early kinks out long ago.
Is the Honda giving you non-carb problems?
