I have the 150hp Suzuki, real quite and came with a 6yr warranty! Really handy when I blew the powerhead a year ago.

They are whisper quiet at idle, but wot 2strokes and 4 strokes are both loud. The only negatives I've heard on Yamaha's is you HAVE to keep up with their maintenance schedule, and be sure to let the motor warm up before dropping the hammer. A friend of mine went to an outboard class, the teaching mechanic said said the EPO boats went from Yammi to ETEC because of the cold start problem.

If your rude was was a 2stroke, you'll see a big difference on coming to plane, but after that, you'll just save money at the same speed.

Good Luck

If the warranty swings you to a zuk, remember there is required maintenance every 100hrs which is not inexpensive if you have it done by a certified zuk repair shop. Of course you can do by yourself, but make sure to keep the records.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
