It’s just that night and day.

My comment was in reference to the boats you would find here in Alberta. Princecraft, Lund, and Crestliner, will all have Mercs on them as part of the package since they are all owned by Brunswick. With the new deal BRP made with Merc it looks like Alumacraft will have Mercs as well.
You can certainly buy a bare boat and hang a different brand outboard on it, but it will cost you more and is generally less convenient.
Salt water is a whole different animal, but anywhere inland I would say that Merc will have the lions share going forward.
