Merc is the best..hands down

[fishaholic2012]

the best out there are evinrude and yamaha....i have both on my boat and never have any problems with them, i have a 115 hp evinrude ficht from 2003 (the one made by bombardier) and a 15 hp yamaha 4 stroke as a kicker motor for trolling...both are great motors and sip on fuel. i had a 130 hp yamaha 2stroke and it burned up because the damn oil pump broke...thats when i repowered with a used evinrude...i prefer evinrude because of the lower maintenance, better fuel economy, and reliability.

[fishaholic2012]

@fishaholic2012 don't get me wrong, yamaha makes great 4stroke motors but they are a bit heavy which is another reason why i like my evinrude...yamaha makes for a great commercial engine because of the big oversize parts they use which makes them last so long, but that will compromise on weight and fuel consumption. evinrude does the same but doesn't over do it which is why they last long and use the least fuel out of the pack from my personal experience.

For all you want to know! On a raneiri with 8 ppl and 150 hp Yamaha V-Max I reached around the 60 Miles Per Hour. And yes, theire 2 stroke.

Pshhhhh this video is wack. check out my 18 foot flatsboat with 150 Johnson on it it flys.

[enginemaster01]

it also depends on application, from my experience on the water (my whole life of 35 yrs in southeast louisiana) mercurys were unreliable in saltwater applicaions hard to start and could not handle a load and sluggish hole shot .mercury on a light fast fresh water bass boat ok

[Gloomis94]

@enginemaster01 ya i can understand that i dont fish freshwater much...verados and mercury racin motors r thing only mercs i would consider buying for saltwater

[Gloomis94]

i can understand evinrude, but mercs are shit i had to replace my powerhead 3 times within a yearr and the motors was brand new

[enginemaster01]

to everyone who says that one outboard is better than the other they are all good until they break

[Gloomis94]

thats not true at all bro

[Danidasanic]

@enginemaster01 like everything...

[cabritorsss]

I only buy American

[mrpierce1000]

yamaha's are the most durable engines on the market

[redneckfromtexas]

I'll take a 250 HO or a Merc 250 XS over that hunk of junk anyday.

[whittley90]

Yamaha is the best EVER!!!

[TommiZi]

yes two stroke but as economical and clean as 4 stroke. HPDI techno for u!

[sangolt88]

Those Japanese sure do know great engineering. Two stroke?
