Re: Which Outboard Engine Brand do you own?

Previous:
75' Merc 7.5
77' Merc 9.9
77' Merc 20
77' Evinrude 70
78' Evinrude 25
77' Evinrude 35
85' Yamaha 200
77' Merc 150
91' Merc 9.9
89' Tohatsu 25
The Evinrudes crapped out, the old mercs were sold, the Yamaha was sold, and the tohatsu blew a head gasket and overheated.

Now:
89' Merc 25, 2-stroke tiller, 15" shaft -14.5' Duracraft semi V aluminum
98' Merc 25, 2-stroke remote, 20" shaft -14.3' Bay Rayder V hull Fiberglass

Both motors run great!

1972 20 HP Mercury
1976 6 HP Evinrude
1993 25 hp Mercury
1996 60 HP Mercury
The 20 HP is a nice running, and looking motor, but don't have a need for it, anyone living in Southern WI interested?:D Bought the Evinrude at a garage sale for $165, was hardly ever used, makes a nice kicker motor. The 1993 Mercury has maybe 20 hours on it. Took it to a repair shop yesterday to have a longshaft kit put on it, the mechanic just shook his head and said he could sell it 30 times over in a heart beat. It's a very strong runner and I finally have a boat to put it on. The 60 HP has been trouble free and a great runner. I love my Mercury's.

88' 35 HP Merc on a 14' Tracker Grizzly. 65' 9.5 Johnnyrude I was a OMC guy 100% for a long time. Then the 35 Merc came along, the price was right and it has been an great motor. I really believe that maintenance is the deciding factor. With proper care, aside from the occasional lemon they all can be reliable.
