Which Yamaha outboard

[ratbag]

no worries, for the record I run a 60hp 4st sammie on my tinny, very happy with it - so I appreciate your choice.

just suggested an option given the investment your making & Frozenpods comments.

Any good Jap outboard these days are reliable, in fact all major brands are definitely stepped up their game I feel. Reliability is key for me too and I wouldn't hesitate to have a Yammy although I am a Suzuki man. I'm sure Inverloch marine would have a 650 for water test in the next couple of months and hopefully they wack a 200hp on it for you to have a drive with it.

For the price I expect nothing less

There's no replacement for displacement Scott. Old saying, but it seems to apply no matter what the situation. I'd go the 6 for that little more low end punch

I'd certainly be pleased if it performs like the 225. I'm going to have to get a test drive with one on the back to find out though. Exciting stuff!

Whatever you end up choosing, I'm sure you'll still enjoy it. My boat isn't the quickest (35 knots max) and I wish I went the 150 over the 140 but at the end of the day it still allows me to do what I want to do and do it comfortably.

The main brands are all good these days.

It is about matching the motor to the hull.
