Yamaha F150 HP stroke motor

[buzzsaw]

What has everybodys experience been with these Yamaha four strokes?

While I do not have an F150 yet, I have one ordered for a Ranger 1850. After a lot of research and discussions with various Pro's and Ranger reps it was clear that this was easily the best motor in the 150 class.

Buzzsaw, I'd go for it. I have a Yam 175 HPDI but I have friends that have the Yam 4 stroke in 115 and 150 and they love them and as far as I know haven't had any problems. I'm not a mechanical guy and compared to other motors I've owned, this is the best I've had. The 4 strokes are nearly silent also.

I have an F115 and love it but I haven't had it long enough to say that it'll stand the test of time.

I don't know about the F150, but I have a 1999 F100, the first they were sold. It's been a solid motor for me and very, very easy on gas compared to the old 2-strokes. I did have to have both fuel pumps replaced since they leaked, but this was under warranty. A couple of friends have Yammies, F50 and F80, and they like them except it doesn't keep you from hitting rocks any better than other motors.

Bought mine last year and love it! Other than the skag getting chipped in Canada, it runs and pushes the 19' Alumacraft like a dream!

i wouldnt hesitate on the yam 150 2 stroke or 4 stroke,i wish i had put this 1 on my boat instead of the 115.

Those I know that have the 150 love it. I have the 115 and really like it. All the guys I know with the 225hpdi's love them as well. Great motors.

I am in the market for a boat and i cant decide between the 4 or 2 stroke. It will be in the 140-150 hp range on a Lund Mr. Pike. One dealer likes a 2 stroke better and the other a 4 stroke. I know the weight and the hole shot are better with a 2 stroke but what about fuel economy? I hear there almost the same with the new 2 strokes? Thanks for any help!
