A friend is looking to repower his boat and he has selected two engines, Honda 4-stroke 150 and the same in Yamaha. He asked me for advise on the two engines. As far as I know they are equally great engines. I told him the only way to decide would be price and dealer proximity. Anyone have personnal info they could add?

Thanks in advance :p

Harley,

I think you gave your friend good advise.
Both engine are good and having a GOOD dealer close by very important.

Here is a list of engines in that category even though you don't list the size of boat.

Thanks Joe. As far as I know they are both good engines. I have heard that the coast guard and other agencies are going with the Honda and running them upwards of 4000-6000 hrs on an engine.
