Hi, If anyone has any suggestions (manufacturer) that you've had good luck with, I'd appreciate the input.

Thanks in advance.

Steve:

My buddy is selling a used 15hp, interested?

Yamaha hands down.
Lighter than the Hondas by far.

and I beleive yamaha makes the blocks for merc. that's what I was told.

2003 YAMAHA OUTBOARD MOTOR ENGINE 8 HP 4 STROKE!!

Just saw this on ebay. 5 hours left. Current price $1059.99 and reserve not yet met.

Just check weight ratio to hull. I opted not to put a Yamaha 25 four stroke short shaft on a 13 foot whaler as it would likely be getting dunked if on a mooring in a blow like tonight. And fours don't take dunking as well as the old school. Parts alone would be about 450 per dunk.
