looking for 40/30 yamaha 4 stroke tiller used

[hotshotinn]

My friend is wanting the motor for a 1448 Lowe Jon boat.He have a line on a used 60/40 Yamaha four stroke tiller but is scared it would be to big on his 1448.I say what the hell go with the 60/40 but who am I?

I agree with him. Too heavy for it.

I know I know this aint a 40 30 yamaha but it seems like a good price for a small jet motor.

I will tell my friend about the mercury.

he called the other guy about the Yamaha and was going to buy it but is now thinking about buying a new one.He might be interested in the Mercury for that price.Does anyone know how that 25 jet would work on a 1448?I had a older mercury 25 jet 2 stroke and it worked good with one man in the boat,with two guys it lacked for power. Maybe the new 25 mercury would be better?I know for a fact the 30 Yamaha jet does a great job as I own one
