I got a 1 year old 310 RIB with the 3870 when I bought it. I was going to buy a Mercury 15hp tiller steer to put on it, with a shifter on the tiller, no throttle shift. Maybe electric start. The advantages of the Merc are a couple of pounds lighter and fuel injection.
A good buddy just picked up the Yamaha line. I can get a better deal, he will take excellent care of me all though the warranty which is longer than the Merc. The Yamaha's are still carbureted, but run great and that was why Merc had to step up to the injection. My friend would likely help me get the 15hp Yamaha injected when they come out in the next year or so.
What would you do?
