I will admit that is the best motor MERC makes over a 150 horse. Too bad it is only good for 300-400!
BTW, I know a MERC dealer that has 8-9 OBAMA MAX's in his shop and none have over 422 hours!
I never said Yamaha was a bad motor....the best on the market..just saying..They had one on a Majk boat at the show...and the guy said they sold about 20 of them and 3 came back with a blown motor.... Just said it was not as good as gold like some say


BTW... I have over 500 hours on my motor and never had any problems

4 weeks ago you had 300 then it went down to 200 now its back to 500. go get a read out on your motor i bet you will be surprised how little hours you actually have on it. dont say you had one until you post it up

The 150 Yamaha would not push the boat like a 225 Merc.
HP is HP. If you want speed, you need HP.
