I could be wrong but if the Yamaha is quieter and you are making a long run it could make the trip more pleasurable. Of course the quietest are the 4 stroke hondas by far. Also, it never hurts to peak in the corners and unfinished areas to get a feel for the quality of a boats construction. I used to work on Catalina sailboats and have found more hardware rolling around in the bildges than was used in the construction of the boats. Best salesman is a current owner keep asking around. My .02 Good Luck!

Sorry Jeff, but have you ever heard a fuel injected 4 stroke run? Much quieter than a carburated 4 stroke Honda, I have one a 9.9 Honda. The Suzuki idling, ya can't even tell it is running if it wasn't for the telltale.

But I like the Yamaha reputation also. A friend of mine has twin 200 HPDI's and they are quiet too, and smooth.
