shasson Posted May 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Conocean Thanks That one is just a little to high for me on the yamaha two stroke. I think i would end up looking at a new motor then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 But you can't buy a new 2-stroke 90 Yammi! Great motor. What else would you look at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is/was a great motor. I had a Hoog 16 with a Yammi 90 2S around 1988-89. It was an awesome combo - fast and light! Yamaha 90 2-stroke, 1.1L, 262 LBS. (no longer in production) Evinrude ETEC 90 2-stroke, 1.3L, 320 LBS. Tohatsu 90 TLDI 2-stroke, 1.3L, 337 LBS. Suzuki 90 4-stroke, 1.5L, 343 LBS. Yamaha 90 4-stroke, 1.8L, 353 LBS. Mercury 90 4-stroke, 2.1L, 359 LBS. I've heard great things about the Suzuki 90. The power to weight ratio is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE OUTLAW Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 As a welder , I will say the metal used on the Suzuki is garbage . Those internal water jackets rot . I have to reweld them every week . Buyer beware . 🇺🇸☠️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shasson Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I have an Evinrude/mercury dealer down the road from me i may check it out. The Etec is the closest in weight to the yami 90 tow stroke. any thought on the etecs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Seither Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 The two I had run gave great service 2006 175 Saltwater , 96 Johnson 150 Ocean Runner, the 175E-Tech had one repair while I owned it Injector failed I believe 2016. but did find this on Louisiana Sportsman may be worth calling to check out, looks like a 2001 90 Yamaha that's been rebuilt, I'm also hearing good things on the Mercury's. https://app.louisianasportsman.com/lpca/index.php?section=classifieds&event=view&action=single_ad&id=918688 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely worth having a certified mechanic check it out. If you're a fly fisherman and sight fishing in skinny water, I think motor weight and less draft are most important. Go with the lightest motor that will also be reliable. I have not owned an Etec, but Evinrude is including a 5 year warranty with an additional rebate until 6/30/2019. Good luck!

I haven't had any problems at all. The only thing I would do differently now, is go with an ETC 115 SHO but the dealer had the 90 in stock.

It still runs good so I am still on the hunt for the right motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
