    '02 Yammy 150 txra

    New Saltwater Yamahas

    If you're a Yamaha fan like me, this is something to get excited about. I bought my first Yamaha in 1986. It was a 90, 3 cyl copy of the old Evinrudes of the past. I ran that motor long and hard for ten years. It never saw a shop or a dealer. The only repair it ever needed was when the...
