Budget Boats.... maybe you can deal with them. I went in there looking at 25's and the thought they were made of gold. Especially for the shape there in. A longshaft 25 that runs good will cost you in the ball park of $700-$1400 on C.L. A 9.9 OR I recommend a straight 15hp de-badged with 9.9 stickers can be an easy find. However, it is spring time and these will start to be a hot commodity. My only concern is the 25hp is half of what is on it. What is the boat rated for?
