Typical engines (2)

Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300) outboard · gas · base score 90/100 · high-use ≥ 150 hrs/yr

The benchmark for outboard reliability and resale. F150 and F300 routinely run 2,000+ hours with routine service. Top-tier buyer trust — a Yamaha-powered hull sells faster than the same boat on any other brand.

100-hour service intervals; 10-year/1,000-hour anode and water-pump attention. Saltwater units: check the bus bar and starter solenoid behind the powerhead for corrosion.
Mercury FourStroke (40–150) outboard · gas · base score 82/100 · high-use ≥ 150 hrs/yr

Mid-range Mercury FourStroke (the 115 especially) is a proven, reliable workhorse on pontoons, bay boats, and aluminum hulls. Inexpensive to service and well-supported nationwide.

100-hour service; impeller every 2–3 years. Frequently under-maintained on rental/value boats — verify the actual service history, not just hours.

Resale liquidity (79/100)

Premium pontoon brand; strong resale on inland lakes. Tritoon (third tube) + larger motor adds value and liquidity.
