Default What's the matter with Yamaha outboards?

I know. Probably nothing. Considering a power unit, the quesiton is
probably a personal preforance issue.

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.

The pricing isn't a steal but is below book.I'd say its a good buy and
I'm kind of interested because I've wanted what I'd consider a river
boat for a while. Something cool to take up the Wabash river.

The engine is very clean with what I'd consider moderately low hours.

It can be muffed and heard run at any time.

So, what should I look for? what should I check?

pro's and cons?

yamaha dealer just 30 mi away.

Thanks!

Tim
