Default Re: Which 200 Horsepower Outboard is Best

I assume two strokes?

New generation of Yamahas are great. The Yammies before that sucked with expensive injector work on the tow boats.

Don't know the ETEC's but the last set we had on a tow boat had over 1100 hours when we sold the boat and a sety of 200 hp's.

I heard the twoboats in FL are all using Suzukis but not sure where their service places are in north half of NJ.

Yamaha, Suzuki or E-Tech??

I have my own opinions but would like to know what others think.
