    Yamaha 70 2 stroke vs 75 2 stroke

    Hey guys, my boat is rated for a 75hp. I noticed that the 70hp 2 stroke has a block displacement of 51.8. The 75hp steps up BIG to a 69.6 block, which is the same block as the 90hp. For an extra 30lbs of weight it seems very worth it. Here is the issue. I have a very nice 70hp Yamaha that...

    Hey guys, I have looked all over to try and figure out what year motor I am working with here. On the model tag it says BF9.9a. The serial number on the starboard plate is BABS-1601792. The more obvious would be that it says 2006 epa compliant on the hood, as well as on the sticker on the port...
