I'm looking for a new or used boat in the 18-22' range for inshore sal****er use and the motor is a big concern of mine. What are the late model motors to avoid? I've heard 4 strokes in general are the way to go - and 4 strokes are dogs but if you go with a 4 stroke get Yamaha or, get a Honda - Yamahas are junk. I've heard to get DI 2 stroke. I've heard that Mercs are the worst and the best; however, I've also heard of many new Mercs being returned and Mercs on recall. I've heard of Merc "smart" systems screwing up and having to be disabled. One dealer swore by the new Evenrude DI (they have "smart" systems too) and I have seen the above as well as Suzuki and Johnson on the boats I'm looking at. Are there brands, sizes, types (2 or 4 stroke, carb, efi, di) to avoid? I'd appreciate some help. ============================================= Here in south Florida both the Yamaha and Honda 4 strokes are very popular, as are the Merc 2 strokes. |
