If you go to the Niagara River and look at the guide boats that will tell you the story.....Lund, Crestliner and Mercury are owned by the same company. So, these boats come packaged with a Mercury.....but 95% of the Lund and Crestliner guide boats DON'T have Mercs on the back....these guys opt to pay a little more to have them powered by either Honda of Yami. Also, I'm in South Florida right now.....Yamaha is dominant, followed by Honda.
I hope I don't get bashed too much for posting this!
