mercury 60 HP 4 stroke vs yamaha 60 hp 4 stroke

[Bad Pete]

ok may be I've had too many cocktails this good Friday night but I was lusting after a 2015 new boat recently significantly marked down, its the right boat. My wife was sitting next to me and said why don't go out and buy it I have some extra money I can kick in! well just pinch me real hard. However It has 60HP 4 stroke merc. My friend says stay with Yamaha. If I get it new and really take care of it is there much difference between the 2? What about the big foot merc? I have been out of boats for a long time so I'm not current on the engine types and reputations.BTW thank you lord may this good streak carry over to tomorrow!

I have the Yamaha 60HP 4 stroke and love it hopefully you do as well if you ended up with that engine. Just wondering if you did get the Yamaha how has it been running for you? Thanks
