haha... didnt mean to start a company war!next thing you know we'll be arguing over stellas v saltigas
yeah, from what I can see of the zuk 140 (and im as far from a mathmetician/ mechanic as you can get!) the numbers dont really stack up against the yammi/ honda 150. I know the additional weight/ less displacement etc counts, but from the reviews on similar size/ weight boat I can find (granted, even these are usually overstated as they come from the manufactorers!) , the zuk seems a fair way behind them.
Merc? Yeah, I have read up on the new 4 strokes- they seem very impressive. But, so did the older ones when they were first released, then 3-5 years down the track they turned out to be very unreliable, as I (and general consenus) have found out... if they has been around for a while, Id probably think differently. at least the yammis (yeah, I know, older technology, not as advanced) have proven to be fairly bullet proof. Also, as another guy had pointed out, I know that reputation shouldnt count for everything and the new merc probably are really good, but in terms of resale, Im pretty sure I know what most people would choose if they had the same hull with either a yam/honda vs a merc to pick from.
On that note, does anyone have any expereince with hull rerating? or reinforcement on a yalta? Am seriously looking at getting this done if its not too much $$ wise to keep everything above board insurance wise... but that is probably for another thread...
Again, not trying to start arguements and any info/ advice people can give is very much appreicated
