Looking to purchase a Stingray 182 SC deck boat. Options are 90 hp Yamaha outboard (Standard) or upgrade to 115 hp. Any thoughts? The dealer usually tries up sell but this one recommends the 90, says it performs better.
Have a 1994 40 Hp Mercury Force outboard. Engine is all the way down and can not trim it up to pull for the winter. Don't even hear the hydraulic hum when I engage the trim up. Do not see any indication that engine has a manual switch to lift engine up.
