Yamaha's new lightweight 4 stroke

[Juan]

This looks like my next outboard: Advertised as light as a two stroke...

sure hope this leads to a 115 on down the line . I have a 90 4 stroke on my skiff now and would like a 115 but dont think my boat would handle the weight of a 115 4 stroke as they are now. I weigh a biscuit or two over 300 so all that weight behind the console wouldnt go too well! My 90 does ok, just want a little more top end and would be nice to cruise @ a lower RPM and to have that extra throttle if needed ;D

Nice! I notice that they will offer it in electronic and manual control system. Good marketing ploy. Satisfies the old school cable binders as well as the electronic convertees. Does Yamaha's electronic control work as good as Mercury's?

Very interesting. Hope it does well. It's 100lb lighter than my 225. Would be awesome on my 206CC.
