Why go gas
Yamaha gas outboards give you the longest range and the fastest refuel: just add fuel and go. They are the pick for bigger water, heavier loads, and full days away from the dock. Match the motor to your boat: 2.5 to 4 HP suits small inflatables, 6 HP fits mid-size boats, and 9.9 to 15 HP powers the largest inflatables. Every motor page lists the boats it fits.
