[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 276549, member: 7791"] You are going to have a tough time finding stock decals that match your motor to original unless you have them made. But here is a site that you can put custom decals or a different year decal on. Doesn't look like 1991 25hp is available, it has them for the 40 and 50's in 91 but no 25's. Or you may want to try ebay, I got a nice custom set that I have never seen before off of ebay. https://garzonstudio.com/outboard/johnson.html As for the 6hp on the back, your boat can probably handle it but if you run in choppy water it will put more torque on the transom in the up position bouncing around. The engine only weighs 55lbs. I see a lot of people (including me for a time before my bow mount) running with 30+pound electrics hanging off the back and never have or had any issues. The sweet thing is your fuel fitting should match off of your 25 johny so you can just plug in and troll right off your johnson tank. Those older twin cylinder small hp J/E are smooth running little motors :D .
