Hello everyone,
I am a long time follow on the site, this site was the best reference while I was building my tracker 1542. Now my boat is configured they way I want it(will add pics soon), and is perfect for fish 10hp and under lakes. Lately I am finding myself fishing larger lakes and covering more water. Unfortunately my 2011 merc. 9.9 just won't cut it maxing out at 13 mph with two men and gear.
That being said I'm looking to buy a used 25hp outboard. What are some good used brands and years I should shoot for? I will say I am a little hesitant on the mercurys seeming as the the one I have now(bout new) has been in the shop 6 times since I bought it.
Also, any thoughts on abstract places to look besides ebay and craigslist?
Thanks!
