Looking for a 25hp

#1 Post by marc p »

Well lads. Just said I'd ask on here. Im looking for a 25hp engine. long shaft, electric start and remote steering. Very very hard thing to find. Looking for something good like mariner or Honda. Nothing to old. Wanting to upgrade my 9.9 mariner on my strikeliner as she just don't have the power for far offshore fishing. She is perfect for inshore but lacks the power if needed offshore.

Anyone any ideas on where to find one.

There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot
