I'm looking at a used Merv 50hp 4 stroke EFI that had only salt water use, can't say how much it was every flushed. It is a 2005 model.
Also looking at a Yamaha 85hp 2 stroke late 90's which was totally rebuilt by a Yamaha dealer (everything rebuilt - pistons, sleeves gaskets you name it). Zero hours on the rebuild, has to be broken in.
Both are the same price $3500.
I have a 16.5ft Jetcraft that is easy to plane (derived from their jetboat lines), so I understand either motor would work (though the 85 is slightly overpowered for the boat but I don't care).
Thoughts?
