The decking looks great. Which brand did you use? I wonder if it will stand up to the sun in the long run. Some people report that it will deteriorate in a few years.

Doing the due diligence and visiting the factory, having a dedicated onsite representative, etc. is the way to go to find quality. Generally, however, Chinese companies, American companies, and any other, for the most part, would likely not turn down a quick buck at the cost of cutting corners. A one-off buyer also has a higher probability of having this happen when buying made-to-order custom products. It should also be noted that the Chinese do not have the same work ethic and pride in craftsmanship as say the Japanese. They will lean on the side of something like, "Woops, it's ok, the customer won't see this weld anyway" (until it becomes a problem) vs. losing time/money and doing a job correctly. If it can be helped, even my Chinese wife won't buy Chinese-made for anything of considerable price or value. I know my opinion is more on the negative end of the spectrum, but I do acknowledge that things change over time. That being said, stereotypes, reputations, etc. do not originate from nothing. The good factories definitely have to make themselves stand out in an int'l market.

You do know the yammy has a rpm control function that allows you to change the rpm 50 at a time? Interesting to compare my NIZPRO tuned yammy. In the mid range 4600rpm I’m killing that yammy for l/hr getting 46l/hr but less speed. once you hit 5000 mine is worse and then I can only manage 5700rpm and burning 88l/hr Im getting less speed because it’s a big glass boat with horrible antifoul. Thanks for that. I have been chasing a comparison for my motor and you nailed it for me.

Sheees, maybe a pair of ear plugs for yourself and you crew if ya got the yammy. 😂😅😂 The merc could go up one pitch in prop size being a larger displacement, then it defiantly would out preform the yammy at 6000rpms hand down both in speed and fuel consumption. But how long the merc will last is anyone's guess. Great review, nice work 👍

Yes the new Merc V range, go boldly. Yes, without a doubt, it will get you there quicker, potentially at better fuel consumption, probably a better look unit, imo. However the yammy will get you to your destination and back again more often without a doubt. Yammy overall servicing would be cheaper too, guarantee the merc will need something replacing that's not covered by warranty. Differently regarding the old L4 & L6 verado's, they were next level in that point of time, reliability at its best if properly maintained and not thrashed. Given time the new merc V range will be good when they iron out a few of the gremlins.

That may be the case but the holeshot won't be as quick. Witnessing the Yamaha perform on that boat was amazing. It may be noisier but there's no denying the grunt it has. There may be even more untapped performance on that Yamaha going up a hole on the transom and having a bit more of a cup on the prop but keeping the same pitch. It's pretty impressive as it currently is though.
@jb243wp
@jb243wp 25 күн бұрын
@1Longranger yeah agree, the yammy can be tuned up a bit with the Nizpro option. Some big gains are achievable.. However, upping the prop on the merc one pitch size will compromise hole shot a little, no doubt, but for us the average recreational fisho, excessive performance in hole shot is over rated, unless the need to cross barways or having a comp bass boat.. not many rec fisho's I know put the hammer down flat out from a standing start, just because they can. Excessive fuel burn, and especially additional wear and tear on these newer 4 stroke engines can be costly in the long run.

@@jb243wp If the Merc was only just pulling 6k rpm then maybe going up in pitch won't help much. Don't the 300hp Pro XS engines like to rev? I thought they loved spinning to 6200rpm? If they make supposedly 10-15% above nameplate rating then what's going on there?? It should have blitzed the top end speed especially being 60kg's lighter as well as being larger in cubic capacity. It's a great engine no doubt and I deliberated long and hard over buying one. I don't think you could go wrong either way. I won't be doing the Nispro tune on the Yammie for warranty reasons.

Great review Guy! Told ya that the Yamaha would beat the Mercury in the low and mid range! And it looks like top end speed as well. Sadly, it beats the Mercury in noise level, too. Still, I think I can help that situation out as previously discussed. So many variables in these comparisons like gear case ratios, prop design etc. It'll be interesting out in the open water.
