    I've had really bad experiences with newly designed stuff. The "new and improved product" and it's possible problems are still yours after the warranty runs out.

    I have owned both. I currently have a 90 Honda. I hate Mercs, but love my Honda. Most dependable Engine I have ever owned. My 2 cents.

    Had them all. Both Honda and Merc did well for me. The honda was a little older. I now have a 140 suz and love it. Bought it over a yamaha because it was cheaper, twice the warr, and they make a 140 which is the 115 block bored out with different gears. Love it so far.

    Personal preference, I would go Yamaha then Honda. The Merc is a tihatsu motor.

    I'll say one thing about Hondas. I live 3 miles from Kentucky Lake and 99% of the commercial boats around here have Hondas. That says a lot to me. I am still running a 30yr old Evinrude though.

    I 2nd what striperking said

    Base your decision on this: will the local shop work on them? I know some shops wont touch hondas, yamahas, zukis, mercs ect ect.

    Thanks Pete,
    There's one Honda dealership very close by,
    Yamaha dealers everywhere
    Personally I hate using dealers but while it's under warranty it's good
