[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 274488, member: 7791"] Well a newer post 85' or so 25hp would be comparable to a pre 1985 30hp or earlier 33's. And Pappy is dead on.....a motor with a 25hp badge on it can be anywhere from 22.5hp to 27.5hp and there are strict guidelines for this. Of course Mercury is going to tell you their motor's put out more HP than they badge them at...... oldest sales pitch in the business :lol: Fact is a 2 stroke HP to HP against a 4 stroke will outperform the 4 stroke hands down. That may change as technology of the 4 stroke improves but for now 2 strokes are still better performers HP to HP and pound for pound. Unless we are talking fuel economy. But the new E-tecs are as good or better than most 4 strokes in that area from what I understand. If I were a man with an extra 4 to 5k I would buy an 25-30hp Etec in a heart beat over any 4 stroke [/QUOTE]
