Assuming there both four strokes, from my limited experience I would say the Yamaha will have a higher purchase price and probably retain more of its residuals, I would think there is probably little between them in terms of fuel consumption. Its probably down to which dealer is closer to you and which offers you the best deal!

I can buy both for the same price . But ... Suzuki with trim , Yamaha -without one .

Power trim and tilt is quite expensive, and even more so to retrofit, you wouldn't want to be tilting up a four stroke lump manually too often as they are heavy.
Probabably, down to what instrumentation comes with each, length of warranty etc.
If it was me I would get the Suzuki, but only because I have been pleased with my 2-stroke Suzy.

Are they new or second hand?

I guess if the Yam F50 doesn't have PTT then its second hand as the new one comes with it?

The Yamaha-F50 EFI have power tilt but haven't electrical trim for the same with Suzuki-df50 price . The power trim - additional 600$ ... the motor is new .
