    Default Looking for a 25 HP outboard


    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.

    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.

    Can't go wrong there either. I couldn't afford the Yamaha it was $1800 more than Tohatsu or i would have bought it.
