As I am in the market for a used deep v aluminum hull fishing boat, I would like some opinions on these three motors.
Performance? Parts availability? Known failures or issues?
1) 75 HP Mercury Optimax (2008)
2) 60 HP Mercury 4 stroke (Tohatsu 2008)
3) 60 HP Mercury 4 stroke (2004) this may be a Yamaha

Re: Any known issue with these motors?

Nr 1 and 3 are both good in most ways.

Nr 1 : If you want accelleration,power and speed. Easy to service/maintaine

Nr 2 : dont even think of it

Nr 3 : If you do a lot of trolling and if you like a "car engine sound" back on your boat.
