My choice would be a Yamie if they build that big of a tiller model. They have a good dealer network. JMHO

Now days Motors are pretty even. You should definitely consider a direct injection 2 stroke like the Evinrude Etec.
They have a 75 and a 90. No break in period,no service for 3 years or 300 hours.Fewer and less complicated service intervals compared to a 4 stroke. Developed and made in the USA.
Regardless what you decide a near by well established servicing dealer should be at the top of your list.

Right on, sort of my thought as well. Thinking the Yamies are tad lighter as well
compared... I need a 25" due to transom.. I see more and more zuki OB's out
there and have been curious as how there holding up to the others... thanks for the reply!

You know I didn't mention the etec and have checked
them out a tad .. Had a Merc 2 stroke
150 pump .. Liked its performance just fine.. just dont need
a pump so thinking prop still not sure .. I will look more at
the Etec motors as well...
