[QUOTE="possom813, post: 245035, member: 5773"] I've been contemplating changing motors I currently have a 1970 Johnson 40hp electric shift that is kind of finicky :roll: It's console steer and I've had to make a lot of mods to make it work. I've been contemplating removing the console and changing out the interior and moving to a tiller steer motor. I have the opportunity to pick up a mid 80's 25hp Tiller Steer Evinrude with electric start and it also comes with the remote controls so I could keep the console if I decide I want to. I know I'll be sacrificing performance with a 25hp motor, but how much would I actually lose? Fully loaded, with two guys, the boat will run 19-20mph(according to the jetski that paced us) Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
