[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1383653, member: 26138"] My uncle has a 4 stroke Yamaha, 50hp I believe. So smooth and quiet you can hardly hear it running. Maintenance plays a bigger role than brand in my opinion. Any of the big brands that have been cared for should serve you well. Evinrude and Johnson were the same motor for a long time. Not sure when, or if, they parted ways. They were always really good units. My dad had a Mercury 35hp for a long time. It was a little shaky at idle, but always ran great, and pushed a 16' Lund fast enough to ski with. Motors of age, especially those that have been sitting, will usually need the rubber water pump impeller replaced. On some you just need to drop the lower, others require complete disassembly. As for the regional thing, I don't see any reasoning behind it. I could see a motor from Texas being used a lot more frequently than one from Minnesota, making it a little less susceptible to failures that stem from sitting. [/QUOTE]
