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

Warranty service availability etc etc all being the same??? In the end
it's a personal choice, but as with the others the personal choice here
would be the Yamaha, if for no other reason than the "free" extra 10HP.

In the bigger sizes a few pro fishermen around here have started
replacing their older (very much older:-)) Hondas with Yamahas, although
that might be a local dealer related thing.
