a boat Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi, as I think I mentioned on the phone this morning any V4 E/J or Y would work well on that hull and provide a lot more get up and go than that I-3 Y. There is a Raider looking to sell his V4 Yammy-it is X/L but not hard to modify your transom to fit an X/L engine and you may find it a bit hard sourcing a good second engine at present-not many good ones going around. Cheers, Huey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Fisher Jay I think a 90 would do the trick but keep your eye on the weight. Your current 70 2 S weighs 106kg,other Yammie motors weigh, 90 2S 121kg 115 2S 165kg 100 4S 170kg 115 4S 189kg If you go 4S , it's getting close to having a person standing down the back with your current 70 2S How would the boat sit in that situation?

jay_stylz Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Mmm that's wats I think I so was gonna stick to the 2 stroke range Thanks Huey for that much appreciated Still unsure if which motor to get but swaying in the direction of the 115 yamaha wondering how reliable they oppose to something like an etec ?

a boat Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi Mate, the V4 Yamaha are fine engines and being old tech there is less to go wrong than any modern clean tech engine with all the extra gear that comes along with these modern engines of any brand. As mentioned on the phone buying second hand can be a lottery but the V4's from any of the brands that made them-like E/J and Y are all fine outboards if the current owner has maintained them correctly. As Geoff said the I-3 90HP from Y and M will be less weight but not a great step in performance and you could always be wanting more HP so see if you can find a good V4-like Daves one. Cheers, Huey.
