[QUOTE="dkonrai, post: 341322, member: 9947"] your motor doesnt have a tiller? out west that would be a hard sell. the two motors are worth about the same, so im guessing your motor would fetch a high of 700 and 500 average. that 25 hp seems a little on the high side. not really a great year for the johnyrude, later years i.e. have the flow through exhaust so prop selection is better. i personally like johnsons over merc, but that is just me. agree that first choice would be a yamaha, with the johnnyrude close second. there will be a huge difference in speed and planning but fuel consumption will be about twice as much as now i.e. 15hp/1.5 gph vs 25hp/2.5 gph. dino [/QUOTE]
