Choosing between the 2023 Mercury 100 FourStroke and the 2024 Yamaha F100FEHA comes down to your specific boating needs and priorities.

The 2023 Mercury 100 FourStroke (2023) is a 100hp 4-stroke outboard from Mercury, weighing 168 kg (370 lbs). Its electronic fuel injection delivers reliable starts and improved fuel economy compared to carbureted alternatives. Power trim and tilt makes it easy to adjust on the water.

The 2024 Yamaha F100FEHA offers 100hp with 4-stroke technology, tipping the scales at 157 kg (345 lbs). Its more compact 1,564 cc displacement keeps weight down while maintaining efficiency.

At 157 kg (345 lbs), the 2024 Yamaha F100FEHA is the lighter option — an important consideration for smaller boats, portability, and overall fuel efficiency.

Both motors are solid choices in the 100 HP class. Your final decision should factor in your boat size, typical use conditions, dealer availability in your area, and budget.
