What is best boat motor
Which Outboard Brand is the best My Top 7 in Order
so you're looking at buying a new
outboard can be a pretty exciting time
kind of like this chick stealing a seat
in the big guys chair but just like
anything without a little proper
planning things can go wrong fast
welcome back guys it is your boy Broncos
guru and today we're gonna talk about
which outboard brand is the best I do
however want to throw a little
disclaimer upfront if you're looking for
the exact specs on these motors on the
percentage of our breakdown vs Yamaha
versus mercury or what the fuel
injection ratio is or the compression
ratio or any of those things it's not
kind of stuff we do on this channel we
do this more for entertainment you're
just gonna get my raw opinion on these
things if you're looking for the exact
specs there's a lot of other places to
look and you might want to go ahead and
eat us to do a thumbs up and move on
specs on the end line for the rotary
girder I'm
however a few dozen for your average
joe's perspective on which brands the
best well welcome back at your boy
Broncos guru and let's get this one
started
our first one's gonna be Honda and
that's gonna ring number seven our list
of the best outboards now this is gonna
be a testament to how far out bores have
actually come when Honda ranks number
seven on the list one of the most
reliable brands there is Honda's
problems they've kind of limited
themselves and stuck in the mid-tier
range of outboards they've really not
gone up there with everybody else where
everybody's pushing 400 horsepower
outboards one of the biggest tests I can
see to this was at the Fort Lauderdale
Boat Show we did not see one brand new
boat barring a Honda motor on the back
of it so Honda really is looking at the
replacement market of the mid-tier
motors even though they so are very
reliable nice motor and having the honor
of coming in at number 6 on our list
well that's gonna be Suzuki Suzuki
really has done some big things in the
last few years and one being this one
right here becoming the first outboard
with duo props on it that's right Suzuki
really is trying to step up their game
not that long ago Suzuki was kind of
followed was a second-tier outboard
brand and they really have stepped it up
and have become more reliable and one of
the longer warranties on an outboard as
well most people anymore wouldn't have a
second thought about putting a Suzuki on
or maybe 10 or 15 years ago they really
would have questioned whether that was
the type of outboard they wanted to put
on their boat Suzuki he's not doing a
whole lot of marketing but I will tell
you this they still done better than
Honda cuz even at the Fort Lauderdale
Boat Show we did see some new boats
bearing Suzuki out boards which was
something we can't say for Honda why
they've ranked higher and coming in at
number 5 on our list is going to be
mercury that's right number 5 on our
list of the best outboard is a mercury
I'll let the shock and all set in on
that one
probably the second best selling out
board in the market is number five
mercury has come out with a lot of
innovations recently including the 400
arm motor which is a 700-pound motor
that produces 400 horsepower which is
really pretty impressive
also mercury is made in the USA which
has really helped them out in the US
market and a lot of the u.s. boat
manufactures are starting to use these
stock as their stock motors on the boat
some of the innovations they've had is
the top cow service door which is the
only motor that has that but still
mercury has a little bit of reliability
issues and it's something they're gonna
continue to work on
hopefully they'll move up this list as
we continue through the years if number
five on our list did not drop your jaw
number fours going to that's right our
fourth best outboard motor brand is
Yamaha I know people are shaking their
heads right now especially since Yamaha
just came out with this behemoth v8 XTO
offshore 425 horsepower motor it's
certainly gonna bring them relevance in
that huge center console market they've
been missing sharing but you know what
Yamaha really does have a fantastic
reliability reputation this really is a
great outboard motor to own and their
150 horsepower motor is known to be
bulletproof coming in and forth on this
listen no Abby place to be as you'll see
as we continue this list but I really
wouldn't hesitate to buy any yamaha
motor and expect to put it on the back
of my boat and get several thousand
hours of enjoyable service out of it
number three outboard on this list is
gonna be a spicy one and that is going
to be Evinrude yes I know I'm about to
get bashed in the comments for this one
but there's a couple things you can't
argue on this everyone's been in the
business for a hundred and ten years and
also they're the only ones keeping a
two-stroke alive in the beautiful part
of a two-stroke is every single turn of
the prop is a power stroke demonstrated
seen here by them point 38 skiers with
these three 300s on the back on top of
that they've kept the engine a
two-stroke even in the submission strict
world and still all for some of the best
warranty covers in the business with
their five five five coverage five-year
warranty five-year corrosion and five
year 500 hour no scheduled maintenance
that's right this makes this one of the
most basic simple engines to own on the
market today everyone who is also one of
the first companies to go ahead and
integrate power steering into the motors
making their IDoc system with the
joystick docking all really basically
integratable right from the factory at
the get-go without having a huge expense
number two on our list is gonna be one
of the marine companies has been the
most innovative in the outboard market
in a long time and it's going to be
seven marine yes I realized most of us
are not buying seven marine motors and
putting them on the back of our boats
these things are some of the most
powerful motors made available on the
market seven seas offer a supercharged
of v8 powering ranges between five
hundred and twenty seven horsepower all
the way up to six hundred and twenty
seven horsepower
they're powering some of the largest
center consoles and largest boats
without boards in the back room on the
water one of the biggest problems with
this is they come at a hefty cost
price-wise and they also come in a hefty
cost weight wise but some of these
motors weighing as much as 1,100 pounds
I already know what everybody singing
what could possibly be number one well
how do you go from first to worst you
throw a turbo on that thing that's right
our number one outboard motor brand is
gonna be a turbo Honda this will be the
only motor where we focus on a specific
motor instead of the brand but it's
because it's so outrageous compared to
everything else we can't compare it in
the same brand cuz in theory it wasn't
made by Honda this motor was actually
made by a couple UCF students as a
senior thesis project where they decided
they wanted to see if they could make a
turbo outboard motor and they succeeded
they actually ran out of money and Honda
donated their facilities and parts to
help these guys finish him what they
came up with in the end was an outboard
motor producing over 620 horsepower yet
like weighing under 600 pounds the best
thing I can compare this to is the seven
c6 27 which weighs 1100 pounds producing
the same horsepower basically double the
weight at the same horsepower I know we
threw you for some loops on this video
but go ahead and hit me up on Facebook
or Instagram and let me know what your
favorite outboard motor is as well if
you haven't already drop an anchor on
that subscribe button if not I'm
probably coming to steal your drain plug
