Re: Honda 130 vs Yam 115 power and fuel economy
I contemplated the same senario you are on my last boat. I went with the Yamaha F115 and never looked back.<br /><br />Less expensive, smaller, and almost 100 lbs lighter. The F115 is probably one of the finest outboards you will ever own...a real sweetheart. Very powerful, fuel efficient, and quiet. Proven.<br /><br />I don't think you're going to notice much performance difference between the BF130 and the F115. 115 hp should be plenty for the 18 Lund. If power is a concern, I'd go with the Suzuki DF140 over the BF130. Again, much less expensive, much less weight, more hp, and good track record.<br /><br />You really can't go wrong with any brand, and dealer support is a consideration as well.
