Which motor brand for new boat

[ChampioNman]

I have noticed Evinrude powered bass boats don't seem to sell near as quickly or for as much money. Is this because people don't want them? I have only had Mercury and Yamaha 2 stroke engines.

Have you ever noticed the block design on Yamaha 2 stroke motors is exactly like an OMC motor? And other components have a remarkable likeness to a Merc? Look at the HPDI fuel delivery system and compare it to a Merc EFI. The Japanese are master copiers and aren't innovators.

Heck in that case I like Master Copiers then because it seems like Japanese makes the most durable and highest quality motors and equipments.

I was thinking overstatement of the year when I read this, but that's too mild. Overstatement of the decade?

what a shock you run an Evinrude. Also no its not an overstatement.

then dump your Merc and buy a Hammer.

With the reliability issues they have had and just about every pro on both bass and Flw having major breakdowns in events and changing brands I'm sure the sales have dropped. One way to raise sales is offer an outrageous warranty which is what they are trying to do. Flw does an amazing job at covering up that g2.

Do you have proof or is it just dock talk?

[Obsessed]

I prefer Mercury, Chevy, Brunettes, and Crankbaits! Really a personal choice.

The 10 year warranty is only for a few months. If your not buying until later in the year it isn't even on the table.

I would not buy that ugly ass G2 if it had a 20 year warranty. Ran mercury for 40 years and would not change over a longer warranty. Actually I have never used a warranty of any kind and could careless about a warranty. No shop will ever touch my boat or engine.

[kercha83]

I would in a heart beat if some one would trade the same year motor with me in 200 hp, Suzuki or Honda.

then dump your Merc and buy a Hammer.

Don't forget the government uses Evinrude on all their boats. hmmmmmm

[Squire]

There is no "best" out there. All are good. Take into account dealer accessabity to service for your engine. Warranty isn't that useful if your servicing dealer is 500 miles away.

this ^^^^^^^ I have lived and learned this the hard way

Listen to Catdude.

[RangerRic]

Which ever one the 'boss' thinks is prettiest!
(Oh, and what Catdude said.... ).

[BMCD]

Im sure the G2 10 year is a 3rd party warranty after the 3rd year. I doubt its 100% either. And there will be a costs associated with that, which is built into the engine.

To the OP buy what you what for your own reasons.

I don't see how merc efi system is even remotely close to hpdi. Completely different so I don't get your point. Btw, they all blow up.

Meant every thing up to the injectors the VST and that is the same components. Yeah Rich they all blow up 4 strokes too.

What efi merc produces over 1100 psi of fuel pressure? Maybe couple components look alike on the outside but nothing else is remotely close.

[bassnman81]

Mercury.

Missing the point, I understand yammaha is High Pressure direct injected The fuel management systems use the exact same parts. Don't believe me talk to Don.
