Honda or Yamaha

[Perchman]

I am looking at getting a lund 1700ss or mr. pike next year and need input on 4 stroke motors. Whats better honda or yamaha in 75 to 100 h.p. thanks!

I like my Honda 75, but if I had to do it over I would definetely look closer at Honda. I would consider going to the Honda 90, because it weighs the same as the 75. Also, the Suzuki 70 has gotten good reviews.

You probably can not go wrong.

Perchman,

E-mail me your E-mail address and I'll E-mail you my review of my 1999 Lund 1700 Angler SS with the Yamaha F100.

The twin 90 hp Honda's on my rig are great -- quiet and very fuel efficient. However, if they would have been available last fall I would have purchased Yamahas.

Main reason is the weight -- nearly 100# less per engine when comparing 90 Honda to 100 Yamaha. My guess is that since they are both 4 strokes, the quietness and fuel use would be the same.

Another factor would be availability of service facilities in your area. There are more Honda dealers in the midwest than Yam's - not so near salt water.
