"Hey guys,
I am new to the forum and I need your opinion. I am running a diving center in the Red Sea, Egypt and I am about to purchase a 8.50 m R.I.B. and I have the option between those engine (it will be double engine)
Suzuki 4 stroke 140/150 hp
Honda 4 stroke 140/150 hp
Mercury optimax 150 hp 2 stroke
The boat will run max 4 trip a day for approx. 2 nautical miles per trip carrying max 12 person. The sea condition are normaly good.
According to the supplier those engine are within the same price range so cost it is not a big issues, he also reckons the performance are equall although he says the Suzuki 4 stroke are extremelly good.
I am not an expert and I need your opinion on this.What do you reckon??
Cheers,
Simo"
