[QUOTE="bigredxlt, post: 341461, member: 13419"] I think he might be referring to the difference in the age of motors in comparison. The merc is over 10 years newer and rated after manufacturers started hp rating at the prop. So we are talking about a 7 hp increase which really doesn't seem to justify buying and older potentially less reliable motor that is worse on gas. If that's what he was getting at I think he's right. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Maybe down the road I'll upgrade to a newer 25 hp when the right deal comes around [/QUOTE]
