Two things to bear in mind. Neither is bad. Yamaha is starting to build a
reputation in the Bass Boat (read high performance) arena. Honda has a rock
solid reputation for reliability.

Personally I would look for a performance review and probably buy the
Yamaha. There is no substitute for horse power if you use your boat. You
can always back off the throttle.

Bass and Walleye Boats magazine posted a reply to a letter in the last issue
that seemed to indicate they may be looking to review more of the smaller
motors in the near future.

Hi,
I have been through all the old news articles FAQ's etc but am still a tad
confused.
I am buying a new 4.75metre (16ft) Aluminiun Quintrex Runabout(Australian
brand) and different dealers have different packages.
One dealer offers a 50hp Honda 4 stroke
808cc, 212lb
The other a 60hp EFI Yamaha
996cc 237lb.
Total package price being quoted is almost the same (Yammy very slightly
cheaper)
Normal fishing use, with a reasonable amount of low speed trolling
I would love any comments/comparisons or advice regarding the two motors
please.
Thanks
