SteveHTN Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 I’ve always been a Merc man, but my last boat had a Yammie, and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Probably the way I’d go on my next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteJD4 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 What yam was it ? I have been looking at a triton 179 or 189 trx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletDeuce Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 I’m a Merc guy, but ran a Yamaha. I’ve blown em both up. Whatever I get next will be a Four Stroke. I’m afraid that two strokes are going the way of the DoDo bird and parts are going to get a lot harder to get in the years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fearless leader at Morristown Marine has been working on my 2003 175HP Johnson and his mechanic has had a really tough time finding parts. Your DoDo reference is spot on. Go with a 4-stroke.

31Airborne Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 +1 on Merc. A 150 or 175 would go nicely on that Triton you have in mind. The business model behind outboard engines will drive the market to 4-strokes exclusively. No money and no time for maintaining duplicate supply chains. It's just the smart move.
