Title says it all, my Merc 25 decided to self destruct this weekend. It's to the point where it is not fixable. I am in search of a 25hp outboard for my bateau. If any of you have one or know of one please inbox me.

My 25 Mercury did that last spring. It's fixable, but not worth it when I can buy a used one cheaper.
sorry Mike for your misfortune.....I have seen several on craigslist........
Thanks guys, I was hoping to remodel my bathroom with my leftovers from my tax return, looks like I'm buying a motor! Good thing I'm a single manrotfl
I've been eyeing a Yamaha 4 stroke 25hp if any of you have one I would like to know if you are satisfied with it.

I had a 115hp four stroke Suzuki and loved it. When I get another one I hope to get the same motor. But whatever I get it will have to be a four stroke.
I have had two Yamaha Four Strokes.....first one was a 115.....the one I have now is a 90.....I love them....fuel injected, no carbs to clean, no oil to mix....just service it once a year and go on. Always starts easy no matter how cold, very quiet, very light on gas.
Sorry to hear about that Mike. These folks are right, the EFI four strokes are the way to go.
