I know that for some reason Tom hates, or at least has a strong
dislike for Yamaha power, and perfers the highly technological E-
Tec's. Harry likes them as well as others.Clams was a dyed -in -the -
wool Mercury outboard guy. I've got a really nice v-4 evinrude
hanging in the garage waiting for the right pontoon deal to come
along, but am really only familiar with mercruiser I/Os.

The reason I'm asking is that there is a local guy that has a fairly
nice 1994 Bass Tracker "bass boat" with a same year Yamaha 150 2-cycle
on the back.



There's nothing technical behind Tom's dislike of Yamahas. I'd be leery
of buying any new so-called Evinrude product in this economy, because
new boat sales are so crappy around the country and Evinrude had such a
small market share these past few years. it would be a risky purchase.
Of these three manufacturers, Yamaha, Merc and Evinrude, the latter is
the most likely to close its doors. The older "old tech" two strokes of
any of these manufacturers are pretty much equal. The determining factor
is the availability of parts.

That '94 Bass Tracker with motor...that's a 15-year-old motor. Caveat
emptor.
