Up until this year I have never owned a four stroke. My wife and I bought us a new pontoon with a 115 yamaha four stroke. Smooth, quiet, and easy on gas. I am currently in the market to repower my WarEagle with either a Honda, Merc or Yamaha 4 stroke. You can't go wrong with either a Merc. or a Yamaha. They are both great. I would go with the best price. Just my 2 cents worth!

Yamaha hands down.

Yamaha,my brother in law gave me a 9.9 that sat in storage for12 years. Put fresh gas in it and pulled the starter three times and it fired up.

I would personaly choose optimax, but either will be fine

I really like my Honda...quiet...fuel efficient...little or no maintenance. My choice came down to the quality of the dealership and what they were selling/recommending.

Go with the best price and a good DEALER all are good motors. The people that tell you which one to buy is the one that they have. It's like which truck is best Ford or Chevy.

I have had a four stroke Yamaha115 for 5 years now and love it.

thanks for the good advice. does anyone doubt that a 115hp 4 stroke will provide sufficient hole shot for a war eagle 2170.
