I'm looking for a new boat. Some of the younger members of my family would like to ski & tube.
I'm leaning toward a 4-stroke outboard, by Yamaha, Honda or Suzuki. I guess Mercury is made by
Nissan, so that would work as well. Which of the 4 brands seems to have the best warranty? Is
150 hp enough for tow sports?
How about so-called extended warranties? Many sold by car dealers aren't worth much. I would
only consider those backed by the manufacturer. I notice these are a lot of used boats for sale.
But, they often cost near as much as new. That does not make any sense to me anyway. New boats
have increased a lot in price over that last several years. Any place to get more info on what
I will need to pay for a new 18-21 foot boat? Many
makers no longer give any MSPR on their web site.
