4. Four stroke is better than 2. Yamaha is better than Honda which is
better than the others.

My 20hp Honda 4 stroke is the most high maintenance, expensive,
(relative to hp) and cantankerous outboard I've ever owned. And in my
lifetime I've owned quite a few from 5hp to 225hp, of various makes.
I should have bought a 25hp Yamaha 2 stroke instead.

I've looked at web sites for Alumaweld, Lund,
Smokercraft. Not sure if there are other brands I should look at.

I'm in a different situation so I ended up with something else, but I
was impressed with these when I was last shopping for Aluminum:
