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

none of these motors is bad, so it really makes no difference. I would
go with more HP and more cc, which makes it yamaha. Also lighter is
better but the difference isnt big. If the honda is carbed then i;d
stay away and go with yamaha EFI. also consider service if you need.
do you have dealers for each nearby?
