what broke on it? theres a guy goes by fishinwrench on oa and other local boards that you might talk to. he may be interested in 1) fixing it for you or 2) buying it for parts depending on whats up.
My 20 year old Merc shot craps last week. Looking for a 2-stroke, electric start, short shaft 25. Preferably a Merc or Yamaha. Let me know if ya have one to sell.

Hey,
It's a newer model 4 stroke Merc tiller 25 that you may or may not be interested in.Suspect it is short shaft...Louisiana off topic....'Prefers Shiners'
Look down the list- you'll find it if interested.Just wanted to let you know about it.

Thanks. I'm trying to hold out for a 2 stroke as I don't want the extra weigh of a 4-stroke. Fishinwrench diagnosed by issue. Not wanting to spend 1000 to 1400 to fix a 20 year old motor with a ton of usage. Hoping to find one with less usage to replace it, but that is proving difficult.

I got a yahmaha 25 four stroknlast year new. It was electric start it was about 4000. It weighs 125 pounds. They made improvements since I had my last 25 a few years back. It also has a way to get rpm down to troll with it
This is proving to be a difficult challenge. I'm beginning to think I'm looking for big foot, a unicorn, are a decent duck lease. All things I've heard tell of but never seen.

well honestly, the vast majority of used motors are on boats. you may have to buy a boat to get the motor.
I was a 2stroke fanatic until I bought a 4 stroke Tohatsu( which also makes the Mercury engine) . Sweetest running engine ever and not much heavier than a 2stroke.
Not much reason to buy a 2stroke anymore. A new 20 Tohaftsu is very reasonably priced too.
