Ok - I realize I have been bombarding the board looking for advice recently, and everyone has been fantastic is helping out with providing advice.
Here is my predicament.
The boat I have is a 1436 Crestliner. Rated for 20hp.
I am considering two different motors, both motors are new and never used.
Motor 1:
2014 Yamaha 20hp Four stroke short shaft. With dealer incentives, I can walk out the door with it for $3600.
120lbs
Motor 2:
2012 Yamaha 25hp Two stroke short shaft. Out the door $4100.
106lbs
**Two stroke motors aren't available new anymore here in Canada, and finding this one in my city was difficult (it's the only one left)
I do not care about hole shot. I care about torque heading up and down river, and top speed.
I want the best motor for the job, and reliability is very important to me. My only concern with the two stroke would be idling and starting. Both motors are manual/pull start.
What do you suggest?
