The price of a 135 hp Yamaha outboard is $14,000+, **** for brains. I
would guess you could buy at least two or maybe three I/O's of that
horsepower for that money.

I am surprised it is not MUCH higher since it would be a custom made
motor.Yamaha does not make a 135
OTOH you can get a 150 for less than 12k

Yamaha F150LB Four Stroke In-Line 466 lb

If you can find a 150 I/O with the drive and all of the other stuff
you need for that, buy it. Then we will look at your maintenance costs
over 10 years or so.

Ahh, I meant 150 like the Tammy I had. Merc makes or made a 135.

Merc hasn't made a 135 since the old tower of power days. AFAIK
You can get in a merc 150 for about 11k tho and the 115 I was looking
at was ~8k a couple years ago. I paid less than 7 for my 70 with all
of the rigging hardware. Yamaha usually comes with about $1000
premium. If the 60 was still US made I would have bought one. They
were going for about $6000 dropped in my driveway.

I did read several articles last night about I/O vs outboard and they
all say the I/O is heavier by hundreds of pounds. Most also use re
purposed car or truck motors. Mercruiser is making their own blocks
these days. I did have a hard time finding comparable hulls with
outboard or I/O except a few Tracker pontoon boats so the price thing
is still up in the air but price should include maintenance

I had a Merc 135 made and bought new in this century.
