Guys,
I am starting to get the fever to own a boat again. It will likely be an older 2003. What motors do you reccommend, and also what do you avoid? I have noticed that most people seem to talk about Mercury, and a fair amount of folks talk about Yamaha, but almost nobody talks about OMC. What is the deal? Also on the Merc's, EFI or carbureted, which is more reliable long term, and easier to mildly hop up? My last boat was a Blazer 190 with a 200 Evinrude. It was no Allison, but I thought it ran pretty good and never gave me a bit of trouble. Also, are most of you still running oil injection, or are you mixing? Thanks. Wade
