If I was in the market for a mid sized boat (17-18') I'd get the 115 yamaha 4 stroke. No questions asked. Best motor under 150 HP made right now IMO. Reall, under 150...I'd go with a yamaha right down to as small as you wanted to get.
For 150 and above it's pretty tough to beat the mercury optimax's if you're a 2s guy. The Mercury Verado 4s have no equal.
That is one bad mofo of a motor. Supercharged 4stroke, digital throtle and steering.
If I had a spare $70K to throw at a boat it would be a Ranger 620 w/ a 250hp Mercury Verado, and a yamaha T-8 kicker.
