    ProV 150. The early ones were the strongest. Yamaha's bullet proof engine bar none .

    I'm really hoping it's the 200HP OX66.

    Haven't found a bad one. I've been selling them since 96 and no one engine has had problems to speak of. I will say I haven't ever had a 200 or smaller come back with a powerhead failure.

    Im fond of the Yamaha VMax 150 (Carb) they still make.
    Very reliable piece and the $7500 street price doesnt hurt.

    Re: whats yamaha's best motor?? (55excl)

    The OX66 3.1's are excellent. However the track record says the ol' reliable 2.6L Carb/EFI motors (and they can be tweaked to 350 hp!)

    Look in the dictionary under dependable outboard motors, the picture will show the 2.6L Yammie

    Yep, I agree. I had a 1992 v4 130 for 16 years. The Yamaha carb motors are bullet proof.

    I had a 93 pro v 150 that I than the dog out of it and sold it and he is still running it hard. Never put a wrench on it.
