Hey guys im having a hard time deciding on which motor to buy and would like some input. I am looking at a 2000 model 15hp 2 stroke Nissan and a 2000 model 15hp 2 stroke mercury. Both are the same price and both similar condition pretty low hours. Im going to use this on a 1440 welded boat to hunt flooded timber. Id like some input on your opions of which you think will be faster, stronger, most reliable of the two.

This is not my primary boat just a small inexpensive set up to do nothing but hunt flooded timber. So the suggestions to get a 25hp aren't needed in this situation. Thanks!

The Nissan is made by Tohatsu Not sure what this says. It would appear to give 2 sources for parts.
I wonder about the small Merc as well.
I think a close by well established stocking dealer is important as well.
