I am looking at a new oat I am am between two motors. The Merc. Pro XS 225 or the Yamaha SHO 225. I will be fishing primarily in Big Lake, I have seen plenty of the Merc out there but have yet to see a SHO on the Lake. I have only seen them on bass boats and wonder how they will hold up to the salt water. I am curious if anyone has pros or cons between the two I know the SHO will cost more. Does anyone know what their maintenance schedule is like, and has anyone seen their performance first hand. Thanks in advance for the help.
