    if you were to buy a new 25-40hp, what brand would YOU buy

    Well i want to keep it a tiller so im leaning towards a 50. Ive seen alot.of duck hunters with this setup and they seem.to love it. As long as it will plane and run around 30 ill be happy

    looking at new alumacrafts..

    I would go mod v. It's a little better ride when things get choppy. The square front of the flatbottom will you just a little more floor space. But, the mod v gives you a better ride. Unless its ALOT cheaper i woukd go mod v over the flat bottom and not look back. Im very pleased with mine

    if you were to buy a new 25-40hp, what brand would YOU buy

    Well the wife gave me the go ahead on a new motor. I think instead of 25 im gonna hold off and save for 40-50hp as im wanting to upgrade from a 1648 to an 1860. So i might just buy a newer like 06+ four stroke

    Outboardsdirect.com

    I've heard alot of good things from onlineoutboards.com. Its mainly.been sailboat guys ordering kickers from there but they have all been pleased. I would call around and check prices from places near you. My marine store was about $300 cheaper than online for a 25hp.

    Post Your Breakdowns or Mishaps

    Was running WOT and hit a stump. Boat darted to the left causing me to hit the right side of the boat. Went camping with my gf and forgot to check to see what the tide was doing. Just to be safe i drug the boat uo the hill a good bit and took the anchor and buried it about 20ft away just to be...

    if you were to buy a new 25-40hp, what brand would YOU buy

    I personally cant justify spending an extra $500 for electric start. Personally i dont mind it and given how well the new four strokes start i dont see it being an issue. Power tilt and trim isn't a big deal to me either. I actually prefer my motor to be able to kick up if i hit something. I...

    looking at new alumacrafts..

    1648 all the way. I have a HEAVY welded 1648 and with a 25 i run 26mph. Boat is rated for a 40 maybe even a 50. The amount of boat you're gonna gain and stability is well worth it from a 1542 to a 1648.

    Looking to buy a Tracker 1448 with a 25 HP Mercury 4-Stroke

    I would go prop over jet. Cheaper to fix and more power. A 25hp jet you wont be getting 25hp out of. I havent heard anything bad about the smaller grizzlys. Im looking into a 1754 or 1860

    $4000

    Why two stroke? If i had $4000 i would go 4 stroke sure. I love my Johnson 2 smoke but mixing gas adds up.

    anyone ordered from boats.net?

    Well i was kinda skeptical on ordering because they didnt have my model number which is j25rcdc all they had was rdc. Which is is still rope start and im assuming the c still stands for commercial

    Country Dave’s Lowe 1752 modification/restoration project.

    The bottom of the pods are supposed to be at a slight angle upwards. Whenever youre on plane the nose is higher which makes the pods sit level. As long as the bottom of the pod is in the water youre benefiting from more surface displacement.

    anybody have a mid or early 80's johnson/evinrude 25\30hp

    I know getting it on the lake and putting under a load is different than muffs. Its already doing better than it was. Before anything more than 2-3 minutes on the muffs and it would die... On the days it would actually start

    anybody have a mid or early 80's johnson/evinrude 25\30hp

    On the old one the wires were distinguishable. I could tell which was black and white and which was white and black so i just assumed it was the same for the new one

    anybody have a mid or early 80's johnson/evinrude 25\30hp

    Thanks for all the help. Once i put the flywheel back on i noticed it was actually hittin my timerbase/pickup. So moved it back and.kept sitting the flywheel back on to check clearance. Took two or three times. But decided to fire it up anyways controlling throttle from the side of the motor and...

    anybody have a mid or early 80's johnson/evinrude 25\30hp

    Got it figured out, dug the old timerbase out the trash and looked at the wires on it. I dont know why i didnt think of that earlier. Torqued the flywheel down and noticed my throttle was stuck. So fooled around trying.to figuring it out. Took the flywheel back off. Aparently when i was...

    opinions on new 4 strokes

    I got prices a week ago for some 25's Tohatsu rope start $3250 Yamaha rope start $3350 Mercury rope start $3200ish no prop. $3600 with custom stainless prop. Haven't got a chance to check out honda or suzuki. I found out honda does financing. Thought that was pretty neat
