I had a Honda 150 which is a super motor. I have a 225 Yamaha which is also a super motor. Both are 4 stroke engines. You need to find out if the boat can handle the extra weight of a 4 stroke as Honda only makes 4 stroke engines.
The next question is carburator or fuel injection. Alot depends on your wallet. A 4 stroke is the way to go if the boat will handle the weight and your wallet will handle the cost. You do not have to mix the oil with the gas as you do with a 2 stroke and the motor is extremely quiet and does NOT smoke
like a 2 stroke which burns the oil and gas mixture. Mercury makes a great engine in both 2 and 4 stroke. Johnson/Evinrude have some good motors as well. The bottom line is they are all reliable and you can't go wrong with any of them. With that said, I would suggest you buy the extended warranty which carries it out to 5-6 years.
