Re: Engine choices
With either one you limit yourself to 2-strokes with carburetion and 4-strokes with the fuel injection. Both have benefits and drawbacks, so it depends on your use, dealer service, cost, weight, etc.<br /><br />You can't get a 115 (Yamaha or Johnson) 4-stroke with carbs, only fuel injection. And you can't get a 115 (Yamaha or Johnson) 2-stroke with fuel injection, only carbs. <br /><br />So you've either got to pick 2/4 stroke, or carbs/fuel injection.<br /><br />I've owned both the carbed 115 2-stroke Yamaha and the F115 4-stroke FI Yamaha. Both have been very reliable and dependable. The F115 is probably the sweetest and most enjoyable outboard I've ever owned, and I would feel confident recommending it to anyone.
<br /><br />If you go Evinrude 115 you'll have to go FICHT. The Suzuki DF 115 is, in most part, the Johnson 115.<br /><br />Most outboards these days are fine pieces of equipment. Choices, choices.....
