Re: Outboard for fly in moose hunt
Not sure where mine is made but I bought a 2.5 Yamaha. I looked at Mercury and Honda. I did not like a plastic prop. Yamaha has metal prop and is water cooled. I offered the dealer on Langley bypass 1200.00 cash plus 4 adult cookies out the door. Oddly enough they took it and the cookies.

So it's almost as heavy as the Tohatsu, was it cheaper?

I believe it's exactly the same weight as the Tohatsu as that to actually made it. It is cheaper than the Honda and the Tohatsu yes
Re: Outboard for fly in moose hunt
Nice thing about the yami 2.5 is having a neutral & forward gear choice, few brands of the 2.5 are centrifugal/centrifical clutch, sometimes these engines need a little RPM to start nice to have that option with out your vessel making unplanned maneuvers.
