If you had the choice which of the following would you choose?
1. Honda 4 stroke 115 on an 18 Foot Deep V boat ... motor comes with 5 year warrantee.
0r
2. Mercury 150 XPS 2 stroke on same boat... motor has factory 3 year warrantee.
...
My usage would be normal fishing duties on all DFW and surrounding lakes as well as some family fun...Tubing etc.

Just curious why you ruled out Yamahah 115 hp 4 stroke? Everything I hear says that they have much better service in the DFW area, at least. That's the way I'd go if given a choice.

Correct me if Im wrong I think ya can get Suzuki parts fron a Johnson- rude dealer Suzuki makes their 4 strokes Hard to beat a 'Zuk. My favorite 4 strokes are 1. Suzuki- cheaper, more parts, GREAT fuel economy, DFW has shops that will service them. 2. Honda- Quietest motor out there, lighter, BEST fuel economy, parts and service is a bear though. 3. Yamaha- Good motor, tons of parts and service everywhere boats are used. 4. Johnson- Same motor as Suzuki, bigger price tag

I would say to get the 4 stroke, hand down. I have a Suzuki and I think it's the best motor I've ever owned.
Jesus is my savior!

Honda makes a top notch product. I have a honda atv that is over 20yrs old and a mc that is 17yrs and I love them both. When I get a new motor or boat they will be at the top of my list.
