I asked them to about the efi 25hp,there answer was it's been made already but they have to sell out of the non efi 25hp first to put the new efi on the market,it should be very soon they said.If it were me i would buy the 20hp efi and be done with it,the weight dif will be huge between the 20 and 25hp efi,it's not worth the gain of 5hp and adding 40 to 50lbs of weight for such a minimal gain.You may at best gain a few mph,who knows they may totally redesign it all the way around to make it lighter i would hope.If you want a 25,to me the best in the business is the etec at only 146lbs and the true power of a 2stroke,plus it's as clean as a 4stroke and you get a 5yr warranty.
If you look around you can find a 25hp etec rather cheap,but you must really look.Hey the 20hp merc is a great motor to,it's all about features,if your looking for the easiest portable 20hp to tilt and has all ranges the merc to me is impossible to beat.If you want a state of the art efi then the suzuki is the best for the money,if you don't care about hole shot but want a great motor as these are the 20hp yamaha is great but it won't have the same hole shot as the suzuki or merc.If you want the best deal on the planet and can care less about features and just want a as dependable great motor as you can get for the money,hands down the 20hp tohatsu for a hair over $2500 at onlineoutboards.com is untouchable.
You need any help or have any questions please ask,i know so much about these motors from researching them for yrs now.
To me tohatsu is the best hands down for just wanting to get on the water and getting you home,it just doesn't have a ton of fancy features as the merc,suzuki,or yamaha does.As far as honda they are so damn expensive and you get no more then you would of a dependable outboard as any i listed,now they are great motors as all the others but you will pay for the name.
