Hi
I know this has be covered many times before, but here in NZ, I can still buy a NEW Yamaha 90HP 2-Stroke (which is the motor on the boat at present).
Obviously, I will not need new prop. and ancilliaries if I stay with a 2-stroke Yamaha.
My main use is fishing, with some biscuiting, skiing and scuba diving.
Advice please?
Yamaha 90hp 2-stroke - NZ$ 11,000
Yamaha 70HP 4-stroke - NZ$ 13,500
Yamaha 90HP 4-stroke - NZ$ 16,800
Evinrude E-Tec 60HP - NZ$ 9,400
Evinrude E-Tec 90HP - NZ$ 12,000 (if still available)
Evinrude is selling off motors, as they have ceased production: It is with great regret and sadness that we say goodbye to EVINRUDE, a brand we have all come to love and respect.
BRP recently announced that it has stopped production on the entire line of Evinrude Outboards, indefinitely. The company has cited
COVID-19 as the main reason for the decision. Below are our answers to a few of the the most frequently asked questions since the announcement.

I am in a similar situation and have looked at all these motors. I’m going to fix mine instead. With that being said I would vote against the Evinrude for sure unless they cut the price significantly. Who knows what the parts situation will be in a few years on those. I would also be concerned about the warranty and the resale value.
If I have issues after this repair I’m switching to the Suzuki 90hp. I have been quoted $9k and $10k on this motor. This includes rigging and controls. I have similar rates in USD for Mercury. I have had great success with Mercury in the past and love them. Yamaha and Honda are great as well.
