Help picking a cart

Looking for a 2nd cart and hoping for some advise. Currently I own a 1997 Ez-Go which I totally over paid for and ended up rebuilding. So going to ask first before buying this one.
Cart will be used at a lake and with be on pavement all the time. One hill to go up so torque will be needed. Both cart are about the same cost.
Which one is a better choice or is it a toss up?

The yamahas are a good cart but I would definately check to see if the rear axle has a white sticker on it. The sticker is on top of axle tube by the back of the motor. White tag don't buy not a matter of it will fail but when. The Ezgo looks like the better of the two to me as it already has rear seat.

In my opinion the Yamaha is a little over priced, I paid 1600 for my 2008 in 2012. Nice cart though.

Re: Help picking a cart

You paid 1600 for a 4 year old cart & that was too much? You got a sweet deal...

Not saying I paid to much. But I think 2k for the above cart is a little steep. I still see them in my area for around 1500. I guess I need to consider Chicago area is a different animal.

Re: Help picking a cart

I just paid $1800 for a similar 2010 Yamaha with 2014 batteries, so I'd say it's in the ballpark. I think the Yamaha is a nicer cart overall than the ezgo but from what I hear the ezgo has a better motor. I still prefer the Yamaha over my 2001 ezgo.
