I'll put a vote in for the Suzuki as well. My 150 has been perfect over 3 seasons so far, and the 6 year warranty is fantastic. Very quiet, efficient, and reliable.
The 100 hour service is an oil change. Every 200 you do impeller and filter. (I think that is it, I'm due for an impeller this spring, which I hope to attempt myself).

I would take the Zuke hands down. those motors have some bottom end that is incredible. I have a customer with a 140 on a 21' Kencraft walkaround. very deep v hull. I was amazed at how well the boat went with that motor. Buzzy's boat moves too. I think they are made a little better than the Yamaha. I have seen both completely apart and the internals are definitey better imo.

You should see it move without 1000+lbs of fisherman and 500+lbs of fish! |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

that was a hell of a day. I've never caught cod a pollack like that before in my life. I was sore for day or so after that one. I got really good at cleaning fish that day. hopefully I can make a trip or two with you next year. |

A few things to consider.
As Yamaha 4strokes go the 4cyl 150 has been one of their best engines they put out.
A few cons though.
Yamaha 4 strokes really don't like water in the fuel ! (something to really consider with e15 coming)
Yamaha 4 strokes require 89 oct gas, minimum !
Yamaha 4 strokes warranties are less than Suzuki.
Yamaha 4 strokes cost more $ than Suzuki.
I would seriously take a long look at Suzuki !
Etecs are awesome also.
Just as quiet, fuel efficient, very cheap to run & maintain, lighter and quicker out of the hole.
But for the amount of $ all motors cost today I would want to get the longest life out of them and I doubt any 2 stroke including Etec will last as long as a 4 stroke with real internal lubrication inside the motor.
