Guys I painted my old Nissan 9.9 yesterday and I'm starting to think she ain't got much left in her. She's been a good one. So I been looking around for a new one and I found a few options. Tohatsu 20 HP 4stroke for 2820 to my front door. Tohatsu 25 HP 4stroke for 4700 but it is tech installed. Yamaha 25 HP 4stroke for 3300. Now I'm just looking prolly won't buy for a month or two. And I'd much rather buy locally. Questions are the 25 horse tohatsu and Yamaha (50 something pounds heavier than the 20 HP)worth the extra coin?. Do you guys think the performance gain( I don't know how much gain can expected from a 5 HP 50 pound heavier motor) is worth the money? This will be on a 1442 alumacraft alweld rated for a 25. Also the 25 tohatsu is efi. these are 15in electric start motors. What's yalls opinions on these motors and the performance differences? Also the 9.9 pushes the boat 25 to 26 mph with just me and a couple crappie rods. Thanks.
