When the Verados break down the Yamaha boat can catch up.

Poor Test! Dont know the Yamas, but Mercury has one clear Problem: poor Quality, buy a Merc and dont forget to incl. one Mechanic in the deal, youll need them very soon!

who says yamaha's are the best? I've driven all of the major outboards brands other than suzukis and evinrudes, never driven a yamaha with anything but piss poor performance. once drove a 24 footer with a 200hp yami with a whopping 37 MPH top speed with 4 people. All the mercs i've driven performed well, the johnsons were bulletproof (Hit a rock going WOT with a johnson and drove it home). Yami guys enjoy your motors, i hope but doubt you'll enjoy them as much as I will my mercs and johnsons.

None of those issues after owning a Yamaha 225 after 5 years. Pretty sure they aren't exempt to having issues but which brand isn't?

ohh goodness. I've had so many outboards. Mercurys sometimes sound cooler, every now and then they get the looks right. But at any point I would prefer a Yamaha, Suzuki or Honda over a Mercury. When you're out there it's power, fueleconomy and above all reliability that counts. No way I'd buy a mercury or Evinrude even. Sorry americans, great country but poor outboards these days.
