[QUOTE="DaisyCutter, post: 428652, member: 21901"] It's a tough call. I just had the same decision to make on a lighter Alumacraft V-16. The 20s are like the biggest of the small engines, and the 25s are the smallest of the big (mid range) engines. The salesman was pushing for the Merc 20, which is a good engine by all accounts. I paid an extra $1200 premium (ouch) for a Yamaha 25, which comes with EFI, PT&T, and variable troll (VTS), not to mention 20% more HP. Truly a 2017 engine with modern tech, and a light weight. Buy once, cry once, and never wonder 'what if'. My boat is also rated for 25, my goal was to find the lightest 25. [/QUOTE]
