[QUOTE="Gotem, post: 356969, member: 9901"] As I look for a new 9.9 to get next year, I've looked at all the major brands in my area. I've eleminated Nissan/Tohatsu, Suzuki, and Evinrude because there are no dealers that are near by (two local Evinrude dealers refuse to carry the 9.9 made by Tohatsu). Ok that leaves me with a lot of Mercury and Yamaha dealers where I live. I have a boat that has been highly modified and the 1974 Evinrude 9.9 can just get me up to plane but moving weight around in the boat effects performance. So with weight as an issue is the Yamaha High Thrust or the Mercury Big Foot worth the extra money and weight. Would there be an increase in top end speed? I know a 15 or 25 horse would make my concerns mute, but I fish this boat on horsepower restricted lakes. I'm not really concerned with brand loyalty, but the actual differences within the Yamaha outboards and within the Mercury outboards. [/QUOTE]
