:confuse
i do not under stand why there is such a debate, all 3 major manufactures(yamaha, mercury, evinrude) build a great product. Were you/what you decide to buy should depend on location and dealer. Time on the water is of the up most importance when it comes to a seasonal intrest. When it comes to vacation, it is my opinion that you need to find a dealer that you can work with and has a service department that is capable. “every body has a problem it is weather it is resolved in time were it does not affect your free time”
by the way you red blooded americans there should only be 2 choices since only 2 are built in the usa
forgive my spelling
