Need advice on purchasing a mis 80's 9.9 Hp Yamaha outboard.
How do they compare with the US big three brands?

You may pay a little more (at least we do here in Canada for new ones)
but you get what you pay for. If you have a chance at a used one GO FOR
IT.
These puppys do not compare to the big three U.S. Manu. THEY'RE BETTER.
--> Of note - cut the muffler pipe (shorten) and this baby will get you
above 10.5 hp.
Enough of my 2 cents.

While I do not own a boat/motor I am repairing my B-I-L's motor. It's a
Yamaha 6hp and before it inhaled some of the local lake water ran
great. If I was to have the oportunity to buy one I would.
Oh yea, on the repairs... Seems that the crank and #1 piston pin both
bent to the tune of ~$325. (one piece crank asy. w/bearings, ouch!).
The engine is a dream to work on and seems to be over built. Total time
to tear down was 1hr.
I am interested in the hint on the mufler pipe. It would be nice to
give it back a little stronger than before. Any hints?
