Time to replace my old Evinrude. Sigh...... Looking at a 4-stroke for a 25
foot cruiser. I'm not a racer so weight is not a critical factor. Looking at
an 8 or 9 hp with electric start. Any opinions on Honda vs Nissan vs Yamaha?

Every one of the jap engines you mentioned suck.

Get a Mercury, or fix the Evinrude if you want something that starts
easy and keeps on ticking.
