I'm about to start my eighteenth year with my 90/65 Merc jet. Bought it new and I've never had a problem with this motor, knock on wood.

It would be interesting to add a column to your motor list to include warranty info.

I've noticed that the weight of 4-strokes keeps dropping, and I believe the new 90/65 Hondas only weigh about 40-45 more pounds than my 1994 2-stroke Merc.

I'm hearing some good things about the E-Tecs, but also that fuel economy gains are not as good as I had previously heard.

I have a good buddy with hundreds of hours on his 90/65 Yammie and he's had very few problems. It's older, but a very light motor.

Have you ruled out sizing up your motor for that new boat, say to a 115/80?
