My guess, that Evinrude is the era when OMC was imploding due to poor manufacturing of their Ficht system. It brought down the company. Those engines almost always blew up, thus the rebuild. I would steer clear of that even though it would probably be OK, but probably still makes me uneasy. A Google search will give you tons of background on that fiasco.

Yamaha is proven, plus, 6 years of coverage means they stand behind it. Just my 2 cents. If you can swing it, I would go for the Yamaha.
