I've been thinking about either buying a new Tohatsu 25 hp (rated at the jet) or rebuilding my 2000 25 hp Johnson. I would certainly like the Tohastu but its hard for me to let go of $6k.

Is it worth it to try boring the Johnson out and using 35 hp pistons or would the cost be money wasted.
Thanks.
 
I guess it would depend. Have you talked to a marine mechanic about your Johnson? I'm sure a rebuild could be done for drastically less than the new Tohatsu is.
 
Ed's marines has the Mercury 25 jet for $3,900. Why change? Wanting more power or reliability?
