I have a pair of 1995 200 hp Yamaha SWS. I am on the verge of repowering. If I can sell my current motors, the decision will be much easier.
They have 900 hours, 100% freshwater usage. 90% of those hours are trolling the great lakes at about 900 rpm. The other 10% are running 2 - 10 miles to the fishing location.
I have had the boat 2 years and run ring free. I can't confirm if the previous owner ran ring free, but I do know he used yamalube which I also use.
The motors are strong, never an issue, very clean. Controls and props not included.
e-mail me if interested
