New 90-115 on a very light rib

[joakimhansson]

www.dahlnaval.se and the small 18 enduro.

Mercury 90-115 optimax.
Evinrude 90-115 e-tec

Or

Yamaha F90-F115
Suzuki DR90-DR115

I will use the rib for longer trips and for daytrips, and i will not drive full speed all the time. But yes it is fun to go fast also

I like the servicecosts for 2-stroke and the sound and acceleration.


But also to go with this boat in 25-30 knots is very economic, if a boat can be that...

Which engine do you prefer in my case?

[joakimhansson]

Ok, i make it easier

Evinrude e-tec 90 or 115

vs

Mercury 90 or 115 optimax. (New engines)



Speed, service, economy and sound?

Did a test with suzi 90, i like it but i want 2-stroke this time...

[joakimhansson]

Ok, last try

Now i narrow it down to...

Evinrude 115 e-tec
Mercury 115 optimax

And

Suzuki DF90

Any comments?

115 is max for that boat.

I looked at the Yams when repowering the boat, I chose the etecs as they are smaller and lighter, first service is meant to be 3yrs or 300 hours (however they will be getting a service this winter for piece of mind).
