Default 9.9 John/Evinrude or 9.8 Merc

Need to buy something for the 12ft tin boat at the wifes family cottage, used, $500 range. Is one any better than the other?

Depends on what year, some of the 9.9s where essentially the same as the 15s OMCs. So you can take a 15hp carb and put it on a 9.9 and you have a 15. The Mercs, depending on what era, the 7.5 and the 9.8 were the same motor less carb. Me, I'd choose the OMC.
