Planning on upgrading/repowering new to me Scout 175 Sport fish this winter.
A Yamaha 90 was my first thought as the controls/cables and gauge is as new and could basically just swap out engines.
The used 90/115 market is slim to none and I’ve been told that with Covid there won’t likely be many camp/lease returns after this season.
there seems to be some good deals on the merc 90 and 115 and has me thinking about mercs more, especially the 115 as the weight is the same.
things I need to decide:
Do I get a main and a kicker? Or troll off main? I like the smart craft gauge merc has for controlling RPMs for trolling, doesn’t seem that Yamaha offers the same in the mid range outboards (maybe I haven’t looked hard enough).
Any input or pros/cons are greatly appreciated, and if anybody is looking to upgrade their power and has a 90/115 Yamaha with EFI I might be interested.
Cheers!
