What models? Several different models made those years.

Well, 98 is a wee bit pre etec. I would go with the Yammy. It's more of a cold weather creature then the Merc EFI. A 225 EFI is a HUGE GAS HOG. If you're a run and gun type you're going to be sorry.

They are all good motors... which one has a nearby dealer that you like.... Other wise i would go for the mercury.

This disaster is heading to non-Repair Outboard. Play nice gentlemen (and any ladies who wander by)

If you are into going fast(er) then go with the mercury.. If you want reliability I would go with the yamaha. I would think parts availability will be better for mercury so keep this in mind as things will go wrong eventually.
