[QUOTE="jethro, post: 467479, member: 12381"] 4 Strokes are definitely a little tougher to pull than an older 2 stroke with no mechanical valve train, but it shouldn't be that tough. I do think that for resale purposes e-start on a 25 horse is a really good choice. If you think you'll never need to resale the motor, or at least for a very, very long time, maybe it's not an issue, but almost everyone looking to buy a 25 horse outboard is going to want e-start. Don't forget that the e-start motor will come with a charging system to keep your battery topped up. I don't think the manual start will but maybe? A charging system is a big bonus for the house battery which runs lights, bilge, graph, etc. [/QUOTE]
