How are you doing with your Merc 4 strokes?

I bought a Honda 20hp four stroke 2 years ago. Impeller went bad
within the first 3-4 hours. Dealer says I must have run it in the
sand. That's BS. If anything I babied the thing in deep, clear, clean
water. Maybe it dried out sitting in the crate -shrug- I dunno. But it
cost me $140.71 I still have very few hours on it. It's been in the
shop most of the time waiting on parts for this or that. They must
ship parts from Japan on a sailing raft or something.
If I had it to do over again, I'd buy a Mercury. And probably a 2
stroke 25hp. Even a new prop took over 2 weeks. Having said that, I
may soon buy a Yamaha 115hp four stroke for a different boat. I'm
still undecided between it and a 2 stroke Evinrude. Different
situation though.

I have had a pair of 115 HP 4 stroke Yamahas for several years. Not a
bit of trouble on either of them.
Also far exceeds the gas mileage of other 25 Pursuit boats around the
marina. (usually show about 4.8 to 5.2 GPH @ 25 MPH on calm days with
2 engines)
