Probably the best out there. Also I think the heaviest and most expensive. 
My unlce swears by them, but then again he has the coin. Myself I'm a Mercury guy. |

| We run a 130 on our Shoalwater... nothing bad to say about them; has ran great, no hiccups/problems whatsoever. I've started to see a lot more of them on the water over the past couple of years, including many government boats. |

E-tec, Yamaha, Mercury in that order... another consideration is a lack of Honda outboard dealers to service them

| Honda is probably the best motor made. Problem is lack of dealers in the area Corpus Christi area. That's why, IMO, you see so many Yamaha's which are also good motors. |

| We have had a 225hp for seven years and it has never stranded us and is quite. It will be the only motor I ever buy from here on out. |

they get heavy after the 150. the 150 is actually a couple pounds lighter than the 150 yammi. Solid motors in my opinion.
Gulf Coast Marine services them and do a good job.

I have a 20 hp honda 4 stroke on my duck boat. I love it, plenty or power and runs SUPER smooth. Cranks easy too (manual start).

| My dad has a 130 on his boat. 2002 Model I believe. Never had any issues with it at all. Runs strong and quiet. |
