    Bigger question is what motor dealers are close to you for service. Its probably 50/50 on performance. I dont run a 20TE...I run a 205 Hybrid with a merc personally simply for serviceability.

    I'm running a F20 TE Hybrid with the Mercury. My dealer doesn't sell Yamaha and I wanted to stay local. Not too many hours on it yet, but I've been pleased with the performance. Running a 24 Fury and still dialing it in, but I can run in the 70s but I'm not 100% comfortable with it --- need more seat time.

    I have heard the Yamaha is in short supply.

    I don't think you can wrong either way.

    Sorry to hijack this thread... Please post some pics of the Hybrid deck! I keep searching for images - not too many out there. Would you consider the Falcon Hybrid overall build a part-time salt or brackish water worthy?

    Ok, back on topic. I love my Yamaha SHO 200 on my Skeeter. But am really tempted to try out a Merc on my next boat, or maybe even a Suzuki.

    Here's 1 picture I have .


    I ordered a F20TE with the Mercury , Yamaha was a year and a half wait is what I was told.


    Thanks, RJ
